On Tuesday, Vermont became the first state to eliminate a condition that anyone assisting suicide there must be a resident of the state. The state is one of ten in the United States that encourages assisted suicide. Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia, are among the others. Before Vermont removed its residency requirement Tuesday, it had reached a settlement agreement with a terminally-ill Connecticut woman allowing her to take advantage of Vermont's law

As part of a redevelopment program in Japan that has been criticized by environmentalists, one of three remaining stadiums where Babe Ruth played could be demolished. Ruth appeared at the Meiji Jingu Stadium in 1934 on a barnstorming tour with other American stars including Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, and Jimmie Foxx. In games at the stadium, which is also home to the Japanese league champion Yakult Swallows, Ruth homered several times before 60,000 fans. Ruth performed in only three other major ballparks: Fenway Park in Boston, Chicago's Wrigley Field, and Kobe's Koshien Stadium. Both Wrigley and Fenway have been updated, but developers and politicians have blocked plans to save Meiji Jingu. The stadium opened in 1926 in Meiji Gaien, a green patch in central Tokyo that is famous for a pathway lined with about 150 ginko trees.

According to the Oregon Health Authority's annual report, 431 people were issued deadly prescriptions under the state's Death With Dignity Act (DWDA), and 278 people ended their lives by using them to end their lives. That's up from 383 scripts and 238 deaths last year. The latest estimates came as a result of rising fears that Oregon and other US states are liberalizing their assisted-suicide services too quickly, following the example of Canada, where tens of thousands of citizens are euthanized each year. Doctors in some cases write fatal scripts for patients they've only known for a few days, according to Lois Anderson, executive director of Oregon Right to Life, a campaign group. The physicians supplying these lethal prescriptions barely know their patients and are often abandoned in the last moments of their lives,' Anderson said. And when lethal drugs are ingested, they have become more and more absent.' That does not matter. People are churning by the 'Death with Dignity' unit,' according to the churning machine.'

Despite the danger of prosecution, Dr. Nicholas Gideonse of Portland is now accepting out-of-state patients, and even as politicians debate revisions to Oregon's assisted suicide statute. The promoter of'magic mushroom' therapy told a panel he had worked with potential new assisted-suicide patients almost every week, but there were no people coming from all around.' "But for a select number of patients who otherwise qualify or are determined to go through this and who have the energy and resources, it has started to happen," he said. For critics, Oregon's burgeoning 'death tourism' industry, as well as plans to develop another in Vermont, show how the US is on a slippery slope to following in Canada's footsteps - where lax laws have permitted people with so little as hearing loss.

In an essay published by Newsweek, author Deirdre Fagan, 52, discussed how her late husband Bob (left) helped her see her colleague Dave (right) in a new light before he died. She related how she and Bob were first divorced when they first met as doctoral students just over two years ago. Bob and his wife were married for 11 years and had two children together when Bob was diagnosed with ALS at age 43. Dave, Fagan's colleague, started checking in around this time, and the three of them developed a strong relationship as a result of his weekly visits. After he died, Bob told her he wanted her to'find love again,' and he later pointed out how much she and Dave love each other. Dave was there when Bob died in October 2012, just a year after his illness. Fagan said that she and Dave have been married for seven years, and she blames her late husband for bringing them together in his final days.
