“To be down 5-0 like that the girls showed a (heck) of a lot of fight. “We needed that,” said Neshaminy coach Tim Quense.

Rock South is in second place in the division, but with Tuesday’s loss is now a full three games behind Pennsbury. Rock South, meanwhile, is now 11-5 and its Suburban One League title hopes are all but extinguished. With the win, Neshaminy improved to 9-7 and picked up what could very well prove to be a huge victory in terms of making the PIAA District 1 Class 6A playoffs. Seemingly dead on the diamond after falling behind by five runs in the sixth inning, Neshaminy suddenly came to life and the result was a thrilling 7-6 win over Council Rock South in eight innings. Arguably the biggest win so far this year for the Neshaminy High School softball team was also its most improbable. "Relying on them, I fear, would rather undermine than enhance our autonomy, since the way they reach their decisions will not only be a black box to us but may also cement existing inequalities and biases," she told Euronews Next.LANGHORNE, Pa.
"This clearly ignores the fact that technology itself is never neutral: It is developed, tested, deployed, and used by human beings, and in the case of so-called Artificial Intelligence systems, typically relies on data of the past," said Algorithmwatch policy & advocacy lead Angela Müller. The potential involvement of artificial intelligence in Sarco has rung alarm bells at Algorithmwatch, a non-profit organisation that researches the impact of automation technologies. "The proposed AI review to remove this medical involvement is part of the next stage in the Sarco project," Nitschke told Euronews Next.
While assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland, the current process requires the participation of medical professionals who prescribe the drugs used in the process and carry out psychological checks.

But our original conceptual idea is that the person would do an online test and receive a code to access the Sarco," he said. Naturally there is a lot of scepticism, especially on the part of psychiatrists.
"Our aim is to develop an artificial intelligence screening system to establish the person’s mental capacity. In order to fully remove outside intervention from the assisted dying process, Nitschke has suggested in a recent interview with news site Swissinfo that Sarco would use AI to screen users before granting access to the capsule. However, a 2017 report by UK campaign organisation Dignity in Dying found that following the established route might be out of reach for many, putting the average cost of an assisted death in Switzerland for a UK resident at almost €12,000. "In the light of this established, safe and professionally supported practice, we would not imagine that a technologised capsule for a self-determined end of life will meet much acceptance and/or interest in Switzerland". "This practice is approved, and supported by the vast majority of the public and politics," the organisation said. When Australia's Northern Territory briefly legalised assisted dying from 1996 to 1997, the law still required a doctor to consent to the procedure. "The main issue is one of control," Nitschke said. In 1996, he became the first medical doctor to legally administer a voluntary lethal injection, using a self-designed machine that allowed the man, a prostate cancer patient named Bob Dent, to press a button on a laptop by his bedside to deliver the drugs. Nitschke has a long history of advocating for the right to die, even running for political office in his native Australia on a platform of euthanasia reform. While in theory anyone could print the Sarco, Exit International will not provide the blueprints to anyone aged under 50 years old, and even once printed access to the capsule will remain restricted, according to information on the organisation's website. Philip Nitschke - nicknamed 'Dr Death' - has advocated for assisted dying since the early 1990s JASPER JUINEN/AFP
