An Indiana University School of Medicine scientist has been awarded $3 million to develop a nasal spray intended to combat suicidal thoughts among soldiers.

The U.S. Army awarded the research grant to associate professor of anatomy and cell biology and of neurobiology Michael Kubek, He works with thyrotropin-releasing hormone, or TRH, a neurochemical he helped discover in the human brain.

IU says TRH is known to have antidepressant and anti-suicidal effects, but isn't suitable for injection or oral use. So Kubek and other scientists at Purdue and at Hebrew University in Jerusalem are developing a nasal spray designed to deliver appropriate doses of the drug to the brain over time.

The project is part of a national effort designed to combat suicides in the nation's military.

Is this the same stuff Scarface used? My friends best friend who is in the airforce just killed himself recently. This is how you know, whatever the military is doing right now is wrong.

When fighting was conceptualized as good v.s evil it was easier to fight. Now that the veil has fallen and you realize it is just imperialism and resource aquisition its hard to find the "right" in killing.

I agree. If the cause was righteous you'd have to assume there would be way less suicides. I wonder what the suicide rates were like during our conflict with Japan, since they bombed the fukk out of pearl harbor.

By using drugs, essentially. And weed is still illegal.

The government needs soldiers that can do their jobs and go on about their life with no adverse mental residual effect. The ones that are unable to make this adjustment are destroyed or swept under a rug.

This is the American way. There is a leaking pipe, rather than fix the leak we will find a way to clean up the water.

They see soldiers the same way we see them when we play video games. Its impersonal.
