Ecstasy and anti-depressant drugs such as Prozac have the potential to stop cancer cell growth, research has found.

They found the drugs were effective at blocking cancer growth in more than half of lymphoma (white blood cell cancer) samples tested.

Interesting, although the amount of MDMA requried would kill the patient, apparently.

    I was always under the impression burning out was worse, since it relates to one possibly losing their skills or dignity (i.e) thus burning out.

    Fading away is how things work, not everyone or everything is "big" all the time.

    Anyways, :p:)

    No, of course not.

    This research is based on reactions to a tumor, not to healthy tissue, so unless you already have a tumor its not going to help you at all, and even then by the sound of it you'd have to kill yourself before it worked, which doesn't really sound like a great cure to me.
