Context:
Isn't it time we admitted that this arithmetic of souls does not make any sense? The naive idea of souls in Petri dish is intellectually indefensible. It is also morally indefensible, given that it now stands in the way of some of the most promising research in the history of medicine. Your beliefs about the human soul are, at this very moment, prolonging the scacely endurable misery of tens of millions of human beings.
@oristarA,
(Non-native speaker alert)
"Endurable" means "bearable". "Scarcely endurable" = "almost unbearable".
@oristarA,
1. Scarcely (spelling)
2. Olivier is absolutely correct.
adverb: scarcely
only just; almost not.
"her voice is so low I can scarcely hear what she is saying"
synonyms: hardly, barely, only just;

Malheureusement non, je suis rosbif de chez rosbif, mais j'aime bien la France, sa langue, sa culture, Indochine (allez Nicola !) et ses eaux embouteillées.
@contrex,
Indochine ! Mon Dieu... ;-)
Tu parles tres bien la langue. Felicitations.
Et toi, tu parles très bien la langue anglaise.
@contrex,
Thanks, my spelling sucks though. (in French too
)
