Reply to Family Dynamics and Doctors' Emotions Drive Useless End-of-Life Care. Surveys repeatedly indicate that nearly all people would rather die peacefully at home, yet painful, long-shot treatments remain common, and efforts to reduce usage have failed by Wagamaga
Make sure you have advance directives in place if you don’t want family members, doctors and possibly lawyers who don’t know your wishes making medical decisions for you.

Reply to TIL that the ratio of male births to female births is 51/49%, and it's thought the ratio of X and Y chromosomes in the man's sperm is most likely the cause. by iKickdaBass
I was taught it is because the Y chromosome sperm are slightly lighter, therefore swim faster and have a higher chance of fertilizing the egg.
