With this information in hand, they separated out one key group: all third-class passengers age 35 or older who were traveling with no children. The researchers figured that these were the people who faced the greatest likelihood of death because they were old enough, unfit enough and deep enough below the decks to have a hard time making it to a lifeboat. What's more, traveling without children may have made them slightly less motivated to struggle for survival and made other people less likely to let them pass. This demographic slice then became the so-called reference group...

...current reactions to two hypothetical vignettes about children with fatal cancers. One vignette involved uncontrollable pain at the end of life, while the other involved irreversible coma. In both situations, the parents became more likely to endorse hastening death as the level of the children's pain increased. The likelihood of endorsement was also affected by race, religion and socioeconomics, with white or non-religious parents being more likely to say they would consider hastening death. "Parents who identified as more religious were less likely to admit they had such thoughts [of hastening death]," says Veronica Dussel, a Dana-Farber...

Bachelet's government has suggested it was working with flawed data from its navy. Scientists say a tsunami's likelihood and force depend largely on the amount of vertical movement an earthquake causes at the sea floor. The 9.0-magnitude quake that caused the devastating South Asia tsunami of 2004 yielded potent vertical displacement of about 16 ft. (5 m); Chile's Saturday temblor, centered just off the Pacific coast about midway between the capital, Santiago, and Concepción, is thought to have involved significant vertical motion as well. Fortunately, no other countries in the Pacific Basin were affected...

Paradoxically, the findings suggest that the use of opioids could even help prevent addiction by reducing the risk of a psychological condition that is known to lead to substance misuse.

...same group would be at a higher risk for developing PTSD - the finding is particularly striking. "It's incredibly exciting," says Dr. Glenn Saxe, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who has conducted similar research in pediatric burn victims. "You could potentially be able to [reduce] the likelihood of getting a bad disorder like PTSD...
