...must be noted that this one final club bathroom is more a representative of several such grotesque lavatories. This is perhaps the first floor bathroom at its best – on crowded nights the smart public restroom aficionado will bring her own TP. A general rule of thumb for finals club facility usage: the more flights of stairs you climb, the better the bathrooms...
...crackdown on Final Exit Network, a group based in Marietta, Ga., that is accused of assisted suicide, has revived the right-to-die debate that was fueled in the 1990s by Jack Kevorkian, the Michigan doctor who assisted in the deaths of 130 terminally ill people.

"If the equipment was purchased by the dying person and the only thing the group did was provide a manual on how to do it, that seems very minimal and like it might fall outside the scope of [the law]," says Ani Satz, a law professor at Emory University...
