PROPRANOLOL is being touted as the miracle cure for fear. Apparently Dutch researchers are looking into this new "miracle drug", a beta blocker which inhibits fear, as a cure for those suffering PTSD or other Anxiety conditions.
Although I think eliminating these conditions from those suffering them is great, the concept of eliminating fear is ... well... Kinda scary. Imagine a society of individuals who fear nothing. There would be no concept of pain and consequence in essence creating a race "psychopaths".
On the other hand, talk about a great thing for those living in fear. I think it needs a little more research though. Not a doctor, just a though.
