Truth Serum Research Paper

Memory dampening drugs are used when someone wants to forget or “dampen” the emotion that is associated with a memory, usually traumatic ones. The memory dampening drug that is most often discussed is called propranolol, it is used widely with those with PTSD. There is some debate about whether or not these memory dampening drugs are ethical for those using them. One organization on the end of the debate that believe memory dampening drugs are unethical and change people beyond who they truly are is the President’s Council of Bioethics (PCB), they are against the use of memory dampening drugs to suppress memory.

“Testimonials during court hearings are performed under oath, hence the statements of an individual being examined are assumed to be true and no other statement should be falsified or forged. When the officer does not pronounce the truth in court, he or she is still capable of providing a reason for his deception, based on a substitute arrangement, such as when he or she is operating as a witness to the prosecution and is not considered as the defendant in a court case. However, it is also required that the officer is conscious of the rules of the court system that he or she has sworn to tell the truth during examination” (Chevigny , 1969).

These medications have evolved and changed due to availability in the past few years. Cost has also had an impact on what medications are available to a dying patient. A patient self-administers an oral liquid suspension or a powdered mixed with a soft food such as applesauce. The mix of medications include barbiturates, chloral hydrate, and morphine which are compounded into a single dose prescription to facilitate death. Premedication is required prior to taking this final dose. The most common barbiturates are phenobarbital, pentobarbital or secobarbital. Phenobarbital is the longest acting and is typically used for seizures. Pentobarbital and secobarbital are used to sedate prior to surgery and are not as long acting as phenobarbital. Barbiturates effect the central nervous system. They are classified by their how long they take to effect and their duration of action. Barbiturates increase GABA (gaba amino-butyric acid) neurotransmissions in the brain. The increase in GABA causes drowsiness. They are highly addictive, and patients may become tolerant. The addiction is not an issue when a patient has reached this stage and does not need to be a concern. More importantly, if they have used them during the disease process as a sleep aid the patient may have built a tolerance and would require a higher dosage to be effective. Barbiturates do not provide pain relief, to provide pain relief a patient would need to reach a dose high enough to cause a comatose state. Chloral hydrate is a sleep aid or tranquilizer prior to surgery. This medication is quick

False confessions have been a leading factor in destroying the lives of many innocent people. Since the advances of technology, victims of false confessions have been exonerated from the charges previously placed on them while others are still fighting for innocence or died a criminal. One technological advance that has exonerated many individuals is DNA testing. According to Randy James, DNA testing was discovered in 1985 and was first used in court to convict Tommie Lee Andrews (Time, 2009). Today many Americans are convicted because of false confessions that have not yet been overturned with new evidence (Kassin, 2014). Although DNA testing has led to freedom for many innocent Americans, there are still many innocent people who are locked

Red Scare as it is known is used to describe a time that had dealt with extreme anti-communism in the United States. Red comes from the color of the communists flag color of the soviet union. Scare simply comes from the fact that many people were scared that communism would come to the United States. Communism, which was commonly feared by most U.S. citizens is a system of social and economic organization in which property is owned by the state or group, to be shared in common or to be distributed among members of the community equally or in proportion to their respective needs. In 1919, 1/10 of the American population consisting of adults belonged to the new Communist movement, and even this small percentage was greatly affected.

Whilst deception played a huge role in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, many are aware that deception compromises the integrity of research study. Malicious violations of human rights have transpired throughout American history titles under the name research. Under those past circumstances, there have been some discoveries that helped propel mankind’s survival and advanced knowledge. These discoveries do not validate the cruelties that unprivileged people like African Americans endured. Overall, it should be mandatory for research studies to be ethical and not undermine the values and dignity of humanity.

The project replicates and extends the observation that being socially excluded significantly impairs the ability of ostracized people to act in their best interest. Participants will complete personality measures prior to receiving false projections about their inclusion/exclusion from a future interpersonal interaction then a contrived computer crash will be an excuse to attempt to elicit a false confession with standard interrogation tactics. Those with traits of anxiety attachment or who have been excluded may be most likely to confess.

The Red Scare of 1919-1920 was an across the country apprehension of communists, communists, revolutionaries, and all people who were different in some way. The September 11th terrorist assault that occurred in 2001 in New York City, Manhattan, Arlington County and Virginia was a composed of synchronized terrorist assaults by an Islamic terrorist team. Both periods have many parallels. Both had coordinated attacks and similar responses from the government and the people.

Have you ever heard of the drug sodium thiopental? It can be used to induce comas, terminate seizures, and aid therapists in PTSD recovery. Large amounts can be used as a form of lethal injections, and it is commonly used as an anesthetic in smaller doses. But the drug’s real claim to fame is its use as a “truth serum.” Sodium thiopental slows the signals sent from your spinal cord to your brain. Since it takes a relatively large amount of time to concoct a lie, people under the influence of the drug usually end up babbling the answer to any question asked. If I were under the influence of sodium thiopental, you probably would not learn that much about me. I don’t like the heavy weight that rests on my shoulders when keeping a secret, so

The Holocaust, the systematic extermination of 11 million Jews and other minorities during World War 2, was an occurrence caused by human brutality and cruelty. Today, there is a wide variety of evidence including first person accounts, literature, images and other physical evidence from camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau and other death camps. Despite this evidence, there are still people to date who believe that the Holocaust did not take place, or that what is said to have taken place was exaggerated. This belief is formally known as Holocaust Denial or Distortion. People who believe in this ideology are called Holocaust deniers, or revisionists. This belief originated during the Holocausts with the Nazi’s. One main belief

Everyone has seen the supposed killing of a Virginia reporter Alison Parker and a camera man Adam Ward. I say supposed because this is yet again another false flag attack against the second amendment of the Untitled States!

In the article, Kassin describes three types of false confessions: voluntary, compliant, and internalized. I believe that there are two types of false confessions present in the video, those being: compliant and internalized. I also think that the two types apply to both groups of young men. Compliant confessions take place when a suspect is anxious or nervous and is trying to escape a stressful situation and avoid punishment, I believe that this took place when after the boys were taken in and they were scared because they were only 14-year olds. I think that this situation is similar to the one discussed in the discussion post from last week, where all juveniles should have an adult present with them, preferably a lawyer. Internalized false confessions come from vulnerable suspects, which majority of juveniles are, and they confess because of highly suggestive interrogations.

Technically holocaust denial isn't illegal in some ways, even if they are make to be illegal then it is unlikely to be efficient due to apathy. Why? Well....it is way it is in Australia. The laws will be used if people go to the police station to press charges. That's all they can do to fight against the racism, don't get it? Because cops do not enforce the laws 100%, everywhere and 24/7. It's impossible to do

As a benefit of reading the post, “hoodwinked” is the new word in my vocabulary. To expand the search without duplicating the articles chosen by other students, substituting the key words with the synonyms might be helpful. As an example, while searching for the articles about human trafficking, the use of “trafficking in person” or “forced labor” as the key words will provide more relevant articles. To avoid the risk of choosing the article used by someone else, it is usually helpful to skip the top links and browse through the articles below the top twenty results. Thank you for the post.

A false memory is simply a memory that did not occur. An actual experience can become distorted as best illustrated by the Cog Lab experiment on false memories accessed through Argosy University. The experiment is outlined as follows: a participant is given a list of words that are highly relative in nature at a rate of about one word every 2 seconds. At the finish of the given list, the participant is then shown a list of words in which he or she is to recall the words from the original list. A special distractor is inserted to the list, and this word, although highly relative in nature, was not in the original list. For example, the
