Misinformation About the End of Life Is Harming Organ Donation
Sree VijaykumarAgainst this backdrop, I wonder: In your opinion, are there lessons that national health systems like Germany’s can learn from each other to strengthen trust in organ donation while simultaneously further improving medical protocols? How can better public education about processes like “circulatory death” and “autoresuscitation”—which are clearly explained in the article—help defuse the alarming headlines?

Sehr interessanter Artikel, der die entscheidende Bedeutung von Vertrauen und korrekter Information in der Debatte um Organspende hervorhebt. Die Autoren zeigen überzeugend auf, wie schädlich Fehlinformationen für die Spendebereitschaft sind.

Russia has tested a new nuclear-capable missile, Putin and top general say
Russia has tested a new nuclear-capable cruise missile fit to confound existing defenses, President Vladimir Putin and a top general have claimed. In a video released Sunday, Putin is seen meeting with senior military figures. General Valery Gerasimov, Russia's chief of general staff, tells Putin the Burevestnik missile covered 8,700 miles. Gerasimov says the missile spent 15 hours in the air, adding that's not the limit. Putin instructed Gerasimov to work on the missile's final tests, claiming it's invulnerable to current and future defenses. On Wednesday, Putin directed drills of Russia's strategic nuclear forces, testing the skills of military command structures.

Social Security recipients will get a 2.8% cost-of-living boost in 2026
Social Security recipients will get a 2.8% cost-of-living boost in 2026
Some seniors say the Social Security Administration's cost-of-living adjustment won't help much in their ability to pay for their daily expenses. The agency announced Friday the annual cost-of-living adjustment will go up by 2.8% in 2026, translating to an average increase of more than $56 for retirees every month. Eighty-year-old Florence, South Carolina, resident Linda Deas says it does not match the current "affordability crisis." The benefits increase will go into effect for Social Security recipients beginning in January. Friday's announcement was meant to be made last week but was delayed because of the federal government shutdown. Recipients got a 2.5% COLA boost in 2025 and a 3.2% increase in 2024.
