Daily Mail: Helena told the Mail: 'Jackie is only 45 but dearly wants to die. Our family believes she must be allowed to do so. She approached an end-of-life clinic and it has put her on the waiting list for an appointment.
'Her mood has brightened since. She knows there is an end in sight to her suffering and this has given her comfort.'....
Significantly, many of the mentally-ill patients had already been rejected for euthanasia by their own GPs. He explained: 'If someone has cancer and the prognosis is poor, doctors will shorten their suffering by euthanasia.
'But if you cannot see what a patient is dying of, or know when they will die — it could be many years ahead if the person is mentally ill — then the doctors find it more difficult to decide whether to end a life.'
So Pleiter's team offers to fill this gap. He got into the right-to-die business when his mother suffered a stroke at 80 and was left paralysed down one half of her body. She had always told him that if such an eventuality happened, she wanted to be helped to die.

"Why did you pick Trump over the other guys?"
Byron York: "The big reason is honesty," said Lori Jagla, of Woodward, S.C. "The more I hear everyone else going, 'Isn't he going too far?' the more [I think], 'No, you just wait, you get into America, and it's not too far. It's what we're thinking.'"
"Because he's honest," said Nicki Cox, of Greer.
"Doesn't mince words," said Angela Griffin, of Spartanburg.
"I don't even care what his views are, I just care that there's a better chance that he's going to do what he says than the other guys," said Robert Daughenbaugh, of Mauldin. "I mean, you know they're all liars. End of story. They're all liars."
Many had supported mainstream Republican candidates for years and felt they had nothing to show for it. Trump is their opportunity to change course.
"I went into a couple of weeks' depression when Mitt Romney lost," said Doug Moore, of Greenville. "I'm just tired of the politicians. I'm tired of the establishment. I voted establishment for most of my life. I voted for both Bushes, I voted for Bob Dole, John McCain, Romney. I'm just ready for something different, somebody who'll actually get in there and make a change."

"Algorithm tries to determine whether couples should stay together or break up"
AP: When Rashied Amini's girlfriend wanted to break up two years ago, he wondered if he could mathematically prove that they should stay together. Amini was working as a systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the time. He knew how to build predictive models about space missions using algorithms. Maybe he could apply the same approach to matters of the heart.
On Friday, he launched Nanaya.co, an online site that can predict the user's chances of finding an ideal match, where it's most likely to happen, when you should settle down and how happy you're likely to be in the relationship.
It's different from the plethora of dating or matchmaking websites; some of which also use algorithms to match users with likely partners. Nanaya's predictions are based on the user's responses in relation to all the other data collected from the rest of the users in its database. Currently, about 22,000 people have taken the personality test, which enabled him to design the beta.
Before Amini adds the "stay together or break up" feature in the reports, he wants to reach at least 100,000 users to make the results more reliable. The site is aimed at people in their 20s and 30s who are wondering whether to stay in a relationship or continue to play the field.
