In every generation, every decade, and even all the way back to the medieval times, there has been war. In the Dark Ages, there was the Crusades, which caused thousands of soldier and civilian life (back then was a lot). In 18th Century, there was the American Revolution. In the 1940s, World War II was there and now, there is a war going on between America and the Al Qaeda. I'm sure in every war, there were suicides of soldiers, especially in today's world. The University School of Medicine have made an anti-depression spray that causes soldiers to not be depressed and prevent suicide. The author says that it might help the soldiers not kill themselves when they want to.
- The pill was created because many soldiers started committing suicide (116, highest record) when they were depressed.
- Replaces the chemicals that you make when you get depressed with chemicals that allow you to be calm.
- They didn't use this long ago because it was hard to make it effective as a pill or injection.
What could be an advantage to this new spray? Well soldiers are civilians when they are not fighting (obviously), so the spray is saving lots of lives. It allows more troops to be deployed and this spray might save their lives and maybe after the military service, go back to getting on with their lives. They are advantages well, because they allow the soldiers to live and move on instead being depressed and kill themselves for nothing. They could have a potential of changing the entire future, who knows?
To every advantage, there's always a disadvantage. A possible disadvantage to this new drug could be that it could prevent natural feelings and thoughts, which having natural thoughts is always the best than controlled ones. Who knows how long this drug might last? The soldier may not be depressed, but once the drug wears off, it'll start all over again. Even if they're not depressed, they know deep inside their heads that something bad happened.
How long do these drugs last and will it cause any negative effects (brain cell damage, etc)?
Will this help the soldiers fight, shoot, and prevent them from thinking about the situation?
Will the drug actually help on a long term run or will it end up as a waste of medicine?
