She moved to pick up Ardman's chart, which listed his weight, but just then the simulator's blood pressure dropped radically, prompting Monica to make the same error that Thomas had made: she went for epinephrine. After the drug sent Ardman into ventricular tachycardia, Monica was fast enough to shock him with the defibrillator. But this time poor Mr. Ardman died before the experiment ended.

To opponents, however, the question is one of international law, national sovereignty and precedent. China, for example, reacted much like the Spanish and Slovaks, worried that Taiwan could be spurred to declare independence. Russia is invested on the Serbian side both for strategic and fraternal reasons. Wary of national claims in the Caucasus and elsewhere, Russian President Putin has loudly defended Serbia, which...
