Kara Tippetts, 38, wife of a pastor and a mother of four who was suffering from stage-four breast cancer, died on Sunday, March 22.

In last years of her life, she accepted her sufferings in a quietly powerful way, a cultural force for another way of choosing death with dignity.

Tippetts even wrote a book, 'The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard', and she also had a blog, 'Mundane Faithfulness', that was full of praise for God and images of a woman well-loved by friends and family.

Her posts on her blog were majorly filled with Christian vision that physician-assisted dying is not an act of loving life, but rather a betrayal of love, God and faith.

A study conducted by Alzheimer's Association, a non-profit organization, found that more than half a million people living in United States could develop the neurological disorder Alzheimer's disease in 2015, but half of them will not be aware of their condition as doctors do not inform the patient.

According to the association, many doctors feel reluctant to give the bad news, but patients would be better if they are aware of their condition. Mary Downs of Reston said that diagnosis gives a patient at least a place to start.

According to tests of Colorado's legal marijuana, the product is more potent than ever before. The tests also revealed that marijuana also contains some contaminants, which could be harmful. As per reports, Charas Scientific tested more than 600 samples of the state's marijuana. The lab revealed that it had high levels of THC. It is a psychoactive compound that produces the high sensation.

The reports stated that previously the marijuana that was brought at street level contained levels of THC not more than 10%. The retail strains in the state had an average level of about 18.7%, and in some cases, it went as high as 30%.

Extensive use of antibiotics among animals can lead to several life-threatening diseases in near future. It is known that industrial farms usually feed their livestock with low doses of the drugs to boost growth and protect their livestock from diseases.

But a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal predicts the geography of antibiotic abuse in near future.

The study indicated that the next big threat will be raised from the middle-income nations like Brazil, Russia, India, and China, where number of people preferring meat in their diets is increasing tremendously. Due to this the extensive farms will try to meet this demand as affordably as possible.

A new study has helped researchers figure out that men prefer women with a theoretically optimal angle of lumbar curvature because of an evolutionary reason. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, showed that even prehistoric men probably liked women with a curvy backside.

The men involved in the study rated women the highest who had a 45.5-degree curve from back to buttocks. The researchers said that women with this spinal structure were preferred by men even in ancient times because it would have helped pregnant women to balance their weight over the hips. Moreover, these women would have been the best at foraging during pregnancy without suffering spinal injuries.
