Supermodel commits suicide: Twenty-year-old Kazakhstan-bred model Ruslana Korshunova leapt off her balcony from her ninth-floor Manhattan apartment building on Saturday afternoon just days before her 21st birthday. Authorities say there was no sign of struggle and the construction netting around the balcony appeared to have been purposefully ripped off. Friends said Korshunova was confused, anxious, and complained of stomach problems before her death. The case has been ruled a suicide.

Mom gives birth to daughter's twins: 52-year-old Arizona-based Crystal Sirignano gave birth on Wednesday to two of her own grandchildren, a set of twins. Sirignano agreed to become a surrogate for her daughter after watching her undergo multiple failed infertility treatments and surgeries.

OB/GYNs suffer from job guilt: One in 10 obstetricians considers switching careers because they harbor guilt and worry over stillbirths and other infant deaths, according to new research. What's more, 75 percent of doctors in a similar study say infants deaths weigh heavily on their conscience, and 43 percent of obstetricians say they worry about patients taking legal action in the event of a death with no clear cause. "We know that stillbirth and infant death are traumatic events for families; this study suggests that they are also traumatic for the physician," said lead author Katherine Gold.

Doctors doubt cancer-free baby: Despite recent claims that a British couple is pregnant with a "cancer-free baby" through in vitro fertilization and genetic screening, medical examiners say there are no guarantees the child won't develop cancer. The couple had screened eleven embryos for the presence of one gene, BRCA-1, that had triggered breast cancer in their families. Five were free of the gene and two were implanted in the woman, becoming a viable fetus. But according to NBC medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman, "There are two problems: You could have [the genes] and never get breast cancer, and there may be other genes that cause breast cancer that she's not even screened for."
