* An anonymous junior doctor from Sydney notes that three of her colleagues have committed suicide. Doubts about the whole culture of making juniors work long hours under much pressure (because their forebears did it, so why can't they?) have been around for so long, but it never seems to be satisfactorily resolved. A combination of money and culture is the problem, I guess...
* The Washington Post had a story yesterday about people who chose to do their suicide live streamed on Facebook. Very disturbing, but how to stop it?
* I haven't read all of this yet, but at the NYT Magazine, an article about a somewhat nutty sounding transhumanist who drove a coffin shaped bus around the US campaigning against death.
