Re "A Change of Heart About Animals‚" Commentary‚ Sept. 1: Jeremy Rifkin argues that science has shown that the differences between animals and humans are less than we think and that we should exte nd more “empathy” to animals.

A Letter to the Editor Eugene Robinson Your article “You Have the Right to Remain a Target of Racial Profiling‚” was rather entertaining and not based on all factual evidence. I do not solely base my opinions on statistical data from one source. You quoted percentages from the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics report which stated that Hispanics‚ African Americans and Whites were most likely to be pulled over for a traffic offense. Percentages can be alarming when used in this context‚ and

Euthanasia should be legalized? As human beings we should all have the right to end our suffering and to choose a dignified‚ quiet death. Euthanasia is the hastening of death for a suffering‚ terminally ill person. It is a quiet and easy death. Indeed‚ the term euthanasia quite literally means in Greek a good death. Euthanasia should be made a legal procedure within Australia as any such legalization would give people the legal right to choose a ‘good death’‚ a dignified death for them. The historical

Dear Editor‚ I am writing in recognition of your recent column about popular themes within the book ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. The columnist mentioned the theme of racial discrimination and I feel that they have overlooked the most important theme; social inequality.
