At least three people were killed and at least 141 others were injured as two powerful explosions rocked the Boston Marathon finish line in a potential terrorist attack Monday afternoon.When the smoke cleared after the blasts in Boston’s Back Bay section, dozens of victims lay in the street, some unconscious, some grievously injured, including some whose limbs had been torn off by the blast, Boston Globe reported.
London - Two Australian doctors have suggested that Catholic nuns be given contraceptive pills.
Dr Kara Britt and Professor Roger Short said that the Pill would protect nuns from the ‘accursed pest’ of cancer, which has been recognised for 300 years, reports the Independent.
Like other women who do not have children, nuns are at an increased risk of dying from breast, ovarian or uterine cancers.
Studies show that women who have taken the contraceptive pill at anytime in their lives – the effect lasts for at least 20 years – have a 50-60 per cent reduced risk of ovarian and uterine cancer.
The report was published in the medical journal The Lancet.
