Science is better off dead imo
I think you've misunderstood the purpose of those drugs, Punk. They're not for the eternal-sunshine-spotless effect; they can be of real value to people who have serious post-traumatic stress disorder and find it disabling. Don't close your mind against that or against science.
They did a piece on "60 Minutes" a couple of weeks ago about a drug that's already widely used, propranolol, which is a beta-blocker that is used to tread high blood pressure. They have found that it has some of those same memory-blocking abilities when used in a specific way. And although it's not being allowed to be prescribed for PTSD right now, in testing it was an absolute God-send to people who'd been victims of rapes, traumatic crimes, and other horrors. Try and realize that there are people who have trouble going through day-to-day life because of PTSD. Certainly they deserve medical help if it's available, just like people with, say, diabetes or heart disease do.[SIZE=\"4\"]\"That best portion of a good man\'s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.\"[/SIZE]
