Consider this: if a person believes such a thing impossible, that may in fact become their reality... they never attempt to change it anyways.
Many scientists don't take this seriously. I have met few who do, and they tend to receive little support from mainstream science, often risking their "professional reputation".
Yep, that's the way it works! If people do not think there is anything 'wrong', they have no motivation for change, as in the 'black and white' world, if it's not 'wrong' it must be 'right'....right? The dangers of being 'normal'.

Most 'scientists' consider themselves part of the group labelled 'normal' [see above]

Good article though, xtrmn8r, I've had misgivings about becoming dependent on any sort of substance, and many activities. The things we're putting into our bodies and minds nowadays...
How many of us have known people prescribed anti-depressants? Have they really made a big difference in the lives of those dosing up every day? I've always thought that the best way to conquer most, if not all, mental disorders (apart from severe disorders a person is born with) is to tackle them yourself. That said, I've never had to try so difficult a task, so I have no idea how possible of a feat this is.
It is the nature of people to take the easy way out, and swallow the "solution" once a day, usually with food and a glass of water.
Be careful.

Tossing between reality and fiction can alter perspectives without talking about futuristic voyages from the medicine cabinet..
