That hardly justifies a suicide test kit, say anti-euthanasia groups, who are up in arms about Nitschke's move. "Nitschke is an extremist and a self-publicist," says Peter Saunders, director of Care Not Killing, an anti-euthanasia group in London.

This is not to say that the Lumina Foundation’s new project threatens to end diversity in itself—its framers explain that educators at each individual school will retain their prerogative to design courses and curricula so long as they comply with the agreed-upon framework. Nonetheless, Lumina should question whether its program is heading in the right direction. Significant curricular differences may make decisions harder for the Class of 2013, but they would be foolish to have it any other...
