I'm not a legal expert but I feel like if we gave natural things more legal rights it would be easier to protect them against extraction and climate change. Even if this is NZ it will be used as precedent in other countries.

U.S. life expectancy rose last year, hitting its highest level since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report, released Thursday, found that life expectancy at birth was 78.4 years in 2023. That's a significant rise — nearly a full year — from the life expectancy of 77.5 years in 2022.

"The increase we had this year — the 0.9 year — that's unheard of prior to the pandemic," said Ken Kochanek, a statistician at the National Center for Health Statistics who co-authored the report.

"Life expectancy in the United States never goes up or down any more than one- or two-tenths," he said. "But then when Covid happened, you had this gigantic drop, and now we have a gigantic drop in Covid. So, you have this gigantic increase in life expectancy."

From 2019 to 2021, U.S. life expectancy dropped from 78.8 years to 76.4.

Covid deaths fell significantly last year: Whereas Covid was the fourth leading cause of death in 2022, it was the 10th in 2023, according to the new report. Last year, Covid was the underlying or contributing cause of more than 76,000 deaths, according to an August CDC report, compared with more than 350,000 such deaths in 2020.

Matthew Perry Foundation Launches Addiction Medicine Fellowship at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital (variety.com)

The Matthew Perry Foundation Fellowship in Addiction Medicine allows a residency-trained physician to join MGH’s Addiction Medicine Fellowship to study addiction treatment and work toward providing addiction care in their future practice.

“The Matthew Perry Foundation is honored to be in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital’s Addiction Medicine Fellowship program. Matthew believed deeply in eliminating the stigma surrounding the disease of addiction and, with that in mind, we are proud to lend our name to this important work,” the foundation’s chairman of the board Doug Chapin and executive director Lisa Kasteler Calio said in a statement.

“Continuing to silo addiction care outside the rest of medical care and marginalize addiction as a social problem outside of the domain of physicians will only exacerbate stigma and inequities and increase the deadly impact of this epidemic,” Dr. Sarah Wakeman, the fellowship’s program director, said in a statement. “It is vitally important for the medical community to address substance use disorder using effective, holistic, wraparound services across medical settings. The training provided through the MGH fellowship will allow the next generation of physicians to provide and continually improve this care.”

“Mass General will work in close collaboration with the Matthew Perry Foundation to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and, most importantly, offer hope to those of every age, background and experience who are struggling with substance use disorder,” she added.
