In the December Century Glenn Frank in an article on "The of Complexity tries to analyze the "forces of health and the forces of disease in the existing social order of the Western nations." In that connection he refers to Dr. Raymond Pearl and the latter's recent development of the thesis that " Death is not a biological necessity," if only some means could be found whereby the potential immortality of the individual . cell might be preserved without upsetting that mutual interdependence of cells which characterizes bodily organisms. The writer's striking analogy between the human organism and the world social organism concludes thus: "No single cell can save even itself by declaring a policy of splendid isolation. ... A whole nation cannot turn ascetic."
