...rely on statistics (sometimes) but in any individual case no one can ever knows how a given treatment will work, or how a different one would have. People must put their practical trust in something: progress or "science," friends, institutions, the government, sometimes maybe even their doctor. Today there seem to be many who just trust the money - that the more expensive must be the better choice. Faith in the marketplace, when ultimately commercial factors define good medicine, is a reality of modern medicine - a reality that can cheat patients out of the best treatment...
...this labeling confusion indicates, the question of when adulthood begins is unsettled across culture. Plenty of writers today have waxed eloquent about the trend of twenty-somethings that spend years in a sheltered limbo between adolescence and adulthood—a 2005 Times article called them “twixters.” People are settling down later, having children later, and it seems we can wait as long as we want to grow up.

...enough? Not to everyone. "For Tiger the brand, the apology is an epic fail," says Coombs. "It is too little too late.

Most of them still live there today. Some 28,000 have been officially recognized as refugees and are living in a U.N.-run camp, waiting to be relocated to a third nation. Hundreds of thousands of others live outside these grounds, in the district of Chittagong or in unofficial camps, stateless and hopeless...
...Meanwhile, thousands wait, unregistered, and unsure of what their future holds. A visit of European Parliament members to the country this week to assess the situation may help highlight the suffering of a community and provoke a regional response to a challenge that today is being left to Bangladesh alone to grapple with. Leaving Kutu Palong, the children are still smiling, the chorus of 'hellos' replaced with 'goodbyes.' Many lives have begun in this camp in the last decade. Many will end here, too, without a birth or death certificate to prove that they ever existed...
