Trauma Pill Might Help Ease Emotional Pain
FrenchyinOntario writes "Canada's Globe & Mail is reporting that scientists are currently testing a 'trauma pill' that might help the victims of rape, the battlefield and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) forget or perhaps simply never store the memories of what happened to them the way they are stored normally immediately after the traumatic event, when the brain overloads itself with stress hormones. It's theorized that the pills could eventually be handed out to victims of Katrina-like disasters as well as returning war veterans. Critics wonder what kind of an effect it would have on a victim not to work through the pain like people have traditionally done."
for rape victims, anyway the pain in life is what makes you grow has a human bean, psicologicly and socialy.
Will be to put them into pez dispensers and give them out for free to IT support staff around the world.

A pill that wipes out memories of trauma? If only this had been available after "Episode I: Attack of the Clones."
Finally there is a solution for dups on slashdot!
It's almost as if this could be used for evil, as well as good.
What's science today coming to?
Environmentalism is the new Victorianism. Everyone ties on a green corset and pretends we're virtuous.
I'd like exactly the dosage needed to wipe out my memory of learning about the pill itself.
One for the lady too.
Karma: It's all a bunch of tree-huggin' hippy crap!
Episode I: Attack of the Clones?
You must have watched a different Star Wars than I did.

Why? Soldiers kill all the time, they are ordered to and do so.
Except for Dutch soldiers. They don't want to kill, and especially don't want to get killed. To achieve this, they normally are very friendly and underarmed. The Dutch government is very scared of body bags, so they send them only to areas where there is no real danger.
5. ???? 6. Profit!
This kind of post really pisses me off.
I have to wonder where we're going when people just post blog entries instead of just posting usefully afresh.
So annoyed have I been with this over the months, I felt compelled to comment about it...
Then you would have just gone back to see it again the next day.
The point is to be happy now I believe, not waiting to not be reincarnated.
Look at the Dalai Lama. He is the lead spiritual figure in Buddhism, and he still incarnates and looks pretty darn happy to me!

That's what you asked for last week.
That explains the relative success of Episode II and III as well...
