Law as a Way to Survive is a comprehensive evolution-theory orientated philosophy of law and state that is tested in this article on its pertinence and explanatory power for the following issues: animal rights, abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide. These subjects are suitable as tests precisely because they are not those for which LWS or rival theories, with which it will be compared, and for which it was primarily developed for. It will be concluded that LWS is very superior in pertinence and explanatory power both because it is much less metaphysical and much more complex than its rivals.
《作为生存之道的法律》是一种全面的、以进化理论为导向的法律与国家哲学，本文将对其在动物权利、堕胎、安乐死和协助自杀等问题上的相关性和解释力进行检验。这些主题适合作为检验对象，恰恰是因为它们并非《作为生存之道的法律》或与之比较的竞争理论最初为之发展的主题。可以得出结论，《作为生存之道的法律》在相关性和解释力方面非常优越，这既是因为它比其竞争对手的形而上学色彩要淡得多，也复杂得多。
