24-year-old healthy girl wins the right to end her life by assisted suicide

24-year-old healthy girl  known as Laura has won the right to end her life by euthanasia or assisted suicide despite not having any life-threatening illnesses because she claims to have had suicidal thoughts since childhood.
Assisted suicide has been legal in Belgium since 2003.

Laura, who was born after an unplanned pregnancy and had a troubled early upbringing  told doctors: “Life, that’s not for me.”

She has been in a psychiatric institution since the age of 21 and told local paper De Morgen: “Even though my childhood certainly contributed to my suffering, I am convinced that I had had this death wish even though I grew up with a quiet, stable family.”
“Death feels to me not as a choice. If I had a choice, I would choose a bearable life, but I have done everything and that was unsuccessful.
“I played all my life with these thoughts of suicide, I have also done a few attempts.
“But then there is someone who needs me, and I don’t want to hurt anyone. That has always stopped me.”

3 British teenagers invent colour-changing condoms that detect STDs

Muaz Nawaz, 13; Daanyaal Ali, 14; and Chirag Shah, 14, explain their invention to Dr. Christian Jessen at the TeenTech competition.

Three British teenage boys have won a TeenTech Award for inventing a condom that changes colours if it comes into contact with a sexually transmitted disease.

The 13 and 14 years old, Daanyaal Ali, Chirag Shah and Muaz Nawaz, students at the Isaac Newton Academy in London, dubbed their invention the "S.T.Eye"

"We created the S.T.Eye as a new way for STI detection to help the future of the next generation," Ali, 14, said in an interview posted on the TeenTech website. "We wanted to make something that made detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the often-scary procedures at the doctors. We've made sure we're able to give peace of mind to users and let people act even more responsibly than ever before."

"Once the fluids come into contact with the latex, if the person does have some sort of STI, it will cause a reaction through antibodies and antigens hanging on to each other, which triggers an antibody reaction causing a colour change," Ali told the BBC.

Boston bomber Tsarnaev apologizes for `suffering' and lives `taken' as he gets death sentence

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev apologized today in court for the killing and maiming people by bombing. He made this apology in court before he was hauled away after being sentenced to death.

"I did do it, along with my brother," he admitted, breaking his two-year silence. "I am sorry for the lives that I've taken, the suffering that I've caused and the damage I have done."

"I've learned their names, their faces ... the suffering that was, the hardship that still is," he said reading from a statement.

Judge George A. O'Toole then sentenced him to death by execution, plus a concurrent life sentence without the possibility of release.

Those in the courtroom included Denise and Bill Richard, parents of 8-year-old Martin Richard, the youngest victim of the bombing.

''Tsarnaev'', said Bill Richard when his turn to speak came, "chose hate, he chose destruction, he chose death. We choose love, we choose kindness, we choose peace. That is what makes us different from him," he said.
