“He was never the same after Chris’s death”: How Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, 41, hanged himself on birthday of late friend Chris Cornell – despite friends believing he “was in a good place.”

Friends and family of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington are in absolute “shock” over the rock star's apparent suicide as it's revealed they believed he “was in a good place in his life”.
The 41-year-old was found dead in his home in Palos Verdes near Los Angeles shortly before 9am on Thursday.
A Los Angeles County coroner confirmed they were investigating Bennington's death as an apparent suicide but no additional details were available. 
Law enforcement officials say Bennington hanged himself in his bedroom and he was home alone at the time, according to TMZ. He was found upstairs by his housekeeper.
'”Chester was one of the brightest and most talented people on this planet, and he lived life to the fullest,” a close friend told RadarOnline, adding that the Bennington suffered from demons. 
Bennington's suicide came on the day of his late lifelong friend Chris Cornell's birthday. The Soundgarden rocker killed himself in May by hanging. Cornell would have turned 53.
“Chester and Chris were so close, and he was never the same after Chris’s death,” the friend told Radar.
The friend of Bennington's also noted that Cornell's death deeply affected Bennington, who also struggled with “addiction issues”.
“But everyone thought that he had it licked. He seemed to be at a good place in his life. It is just so tragic and there are no words,” the friend told Radar. 
 
His bandmates were said to be blindsided by Chester's suicide with sources telling TMZ they had plans to attend a photo shoot in Hollywood later on Thursday. 
 One Linkin Park band member went to pick him up on Thursday morning but arrived to find police already at his home.
The singer had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. He was married and is survived by his six children from two relationships. 
Chester had flown back to Los Angeles on Wednesday night. He had been spending time in Arizona with his wife Talinda, but she remained behind. 
Chester, as well as Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson, had performed Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah” for the crowd of mourners at Cornell's funeral, many of whom were moved to tears. 
Linkin Park was on tour following the release of the band's latest album One More Light. They had a show at New York's Citi Field scheduled for next week with Blink 182. 
They played together for the last time on July 7 in Birmingham, England. 
The band released its newest music video just two hours before news of his death emerged on Thursday. 
Bennington was married to his second wife Talinda, a former Playboy model, for 12 years. He divorced his first wife Samantha Marie Olit in 2005 after nine years of marriage. 
The frontman had been open about his history of substance abuse and admitted in one interview in 2011 that he had once been a “full blown, raging alcoholic”. 
He admitted to smoking pot after his parents divorced when he was 11. The drug use then spiraled into cocaine and meth. 
Bennington had also previously spoken out about being sexually abused as a seven-year-old, saying he had been molested by an older male friend.
“If I think back to when I was really young, to when I was being molested, to when all these horrible things were going on around me, I shudder,” he said in one interview. 
He went to rehab for his drug and alcohol addiction after marrying his second wife and said he really began to change in 2007. 
In a 2011 interview, he said he was sober.
“I don't drink. I choose to be sober now. I have drunk over the last six years, but I just don't want to be that person anymore.” 
Linkin Park's sixth and latest album, One More Light, jumped to the top of the Billboard chart when it was released in May. [...]

Is gene editing ethical?


Gene editing is the modification of DNA sequences in living cells. What that means in reality is that researchers can either add mutations or substitute genes in cells or organisms. 
Gene editing holds the key to preventing or treating debilitating genetic diseases, giving hope to millions of people around the world. Yet the same technology could unlock the path to designing our future children, enhancing their genome by selecting desirable traits such as height, eye color, and intelligence. 
While this concept is not new, a real breakthrough came 5 years ago when several scientists saw the potential of a system called CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the human genome.
CRISPR/Cas9 allows us to target specific locations in the genome with much more precision than previous techniques. This process allows a faulty gene to be replaced with a non-faulty copy, making this technology attractive to those looking to cure genetic diseases. 
The technology is not foolproof, however. Scientists have been modifying genes for decades, but there are always trade-offs. We have yet to develop a technique that works 100 percent and doesn't lead to unwanted and uncontrollable mutations in other locations in the genome.
In a laboratory experiment, these so-called off-target effects are not the end of the world. But when it comes to gene editing in humans, this is a major stumbling block.
The fact that gene editing is possible in human embryos has opened a Pandora's box of ethical issues.
Here, the ethical debate around gene editing really gets off the ground. 
When gene editing is used in embryos — or earlier, on the sperm or egg of carriers of genetic mutations — it is called germline gene editing. The big issue here is that it affects both the individual receiving the treatment and their future children. 
This is a potential game-changer as it implies that we may be able to change the genetic makeup of entire generations on a permanent basis.

Indian surgeons separate twins joined at the head 


Two-year-old Jaga and Kalia underwent 16 hours of surgery, and are now in the intensive care unit, doctors said. 
A team of 30 doctors carried out the surgery - the first of its kind in India - at a state-run hospital. 
The boys were born with shared blood vessels and brain tissues, a very rare condition that occurs once in about three million births. 
The director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Randeep Guleria, told the Press Trust of India that the "next 18 days would be extremely critical to ascertain the success of the surgery". 
The twins, hailing from a village in eastern Orissa state, were joined at the head - a condition known as craniopagus. 
Even before the operation they had defeated the odds; craniopagus occurs in one in three million births, and 50% of those affected die within 24 hours, doctors say. 
"Both the children have other health issues as well. While Jaga has heart issues, Kalia has kidney problems," neurosurgeon A K Mahapatra said. 
"Though initially Jaga was healthier, now his condition has deteriorated. Kalia is better," he added. 
Doctors said the most challenging job after the separation was to "provide a skin cover on both sides of the brain for the children as the surgery had left large holes on their heads". 
"If the twins make it, the next step will be reconstructing their skulls," plastic surgeon Maneesh Singhal said. 
The first surgery was performed on 28 August when the doctors created a bypass to separate the shared veins that return blood to the heart from the brain.
