France constitution references human rights declaration, which guarantee you free speech with limits defined by the law (and not by next door jihadist).

Since 1905, France state is separated from church, which means the later cannot claim any legal authority.

The law does not ban blasphemy (except in Moselle and Alsace region which were outside of France in 1905), and forbids killing people or even punching them as a retaliation. Things are quite simple.

That is the never ending problem of negative externalities: a business looks profitable only because it does not take into account costs that society bears. The solution is state regulation and taxation. In other words, free markets are a theory that does not fit the real world most of the time.

This is not terrorism. Killing journalists for their opinion is a political murder. Only the method is new: it is gangster-like approach to murdering.

I wish them good luck to them for the EU grant procedure. The procedures are such a maze that usually EU grant experts are required.

Yes, if you consider the conditions required to get a cancer, it seems to be really bad luck:

• You need a mutation, this is the easy part
• The mutation must be uncorrectable
• The mutation must not cause the cell to die
• The mutation must not cause the cell to express abnormal proteins on its surface that would make it a target for the immune system
• The mutation must remove the limit on cell division
• The mutation must unlock fast cell division
• The mutation must cause the cell to send messages so that blood vessel grow around it to provide it nutrimentsl.

And I did not even tackled metastasis.

The headline is shocking when one consider the steep rise of cancer since 1945. If it was luck, then how it could change over time?

But I think the paper could still be a valuable contribution, it is just that this summary ignores the difference between cancer initiation and cancer promotion. Many environmental factors favor existing tumors but do not create them. Hence initiation can be random, while promotion can be environment-induced.
