A Better Death
Essential reading on assisted dying, blending ethical debate with practical guidance. Assisted dying is one of contemporary society's most pressing and divisive social issues. Should terminally ill people in pain be allowed to choose death on their own terms? This timely and accessible book lays out the moral, legal, and practical dimensions of the debate. It draws on real-life experiences, explores opposing viewpoints with sensitivity, and examines the wider social and ethical implications. Designed for readers of all beliefs and backgrounds, it presents the facts with clarity and compassion. A pioneering section also offers the first guide to meaningful ceremonies at the time of an assisted death, helping families honor life and ease grief. Whether you support, oppose, or are unsure about assisted dying, this essential book provides insight and guidance on a deeply personal issue.
Exclusive Papers of the Editorial Board Members of the Organic Chemistry Section of Molecules
The Reprint brings together fourteen invited contributions from members of the Editorial Board of the Organic Chemistry Section of Molecules, showcasing the scientific depth, creativity, and methodological diversity that define contemporary organic chemistry. Each manuscript was selected to highlight a frontier of the field-spanning natural product chemistry, synthetic methodology, heterocyclic innovation, photochemical reactivity, reagent design, and biologically active small molecules-and together they form a unified representation of the Section's scientific leadership.
Suicidal Behaviors
This Special Issue aims to deepen the understanding of suicidal behaviors (SBs), as well as their risk and protective factors, and to highlight innovative approaches to intervention, prevention, and postvention. The collected contributions illustrate the multifaceted nature of suicidality, addressing its psychological, social, and contextual dimensions across diverse populations and life stages. Empirical studies examine the impact of various forms of violence on SBs in Mexico, psychopathological networks in individuals with and without suicidal ideation, and the concurrent validity of digital tools for risk assessment. Research focusing on adolescents explores the interplay between regulation strategies, contextual stressors, addictions, and suicidality. Preventive strategies are also considered, including measures targeting high-risk locations, the influence of social bonds within military units, and suicide prevention efforts in older veterans. Additionally, systematic reviews synthesize evidence on grief interventions for suicide loss survivors, the role of social cognition in psychosis, and the mechanisms linking defeat, entrapment, and depression to suicidal ideation in youth. A sociological perspective further situates suicidality within the post-COVID-19 context in Spain. Together, these contributions provide a comprehensive and integrative outlook that enriches our understanding of SBs and informs tailored, evidence-based strategies to reduce their burden.

Not Science. Not Scientists.
When doctors, virologists, and health organizations make claims, we take them as scientific fact. But what if this is not the case? What if the medicine, as we know it today, is based on false principles?Not Science, Not Scientists exposes how modern medicine and virology have falsely claimed the mantle of science, adopting its language, symbols, and authority while lacking its rigorous foundation. Challenging the popular belief that medical and biological disciplines represent genuine science, analytical chemist/scientist Saeed Qureshi shows how they rely on assumptions, opinions, and statistical manipulation rather than the direct, measurable study of substances. The integrity of true science, he argues, relies on chemistry, physics, and mathematics-the disciplines that deal with matter, energy, and the laws that govern their behaviour. Using laboratory theatrics and complex jargon, medicine and virology have dressed themselves up, distorting terms like "isolation," "virus," and "evidence-based medicine" to justify unscientific practices.Drawing on real-world examples and his decades of experience in analytical chemistry, Dr. Qureshi show us how the misuse of science has misled the public, corrupted medical research, and corroded trust in what was once considered the most objective of disciplines. Ultimately, Not Science, Not Scientists is a call to restore intellectual honesty and scientific integrity to medicine by returning to chemistry-the true and original science-as its foundation. Only by grounding medical practice in genuine chemical understanding can it once again serve truth, reason, and humanity.

Synthetic Studies of Marine Bioactive Natural Products and Analogs to Develop Novel Drug Leads
Marine natural products are considered promising sources of drug candidates, especially in the field of anticancer drugs or antibiotics. However, the scarce supply of compounds from natural sources often limits further drug development, and consequently, efficient total synthesis of marine natural products and their derivatives can overcome this drawback. In addition, the synthesis of truncated analogs based on structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies would facilitate the discovery of more accessible drug lead compounds with improved bioactive specificity or ADMET profiles. This Special Issue gathers eight publications, including two reviews and six research articles, focusing on the synthetic study of bioactive marine natural products and their truncated analogs. We hope that many readers will find interest in the contents of this Special Issue, and that it will offer some perspectives for the future development of novel marine-natural-product-derived drug leads for intractable diseases.
