Introduction: Beijing time on December 15, message, according to foreign media reports, India police suspect that a man who took part in the November attacks in Mumbai attacks, they are going to give this man taking "spit real medicine" thiopental (sodium pentothal), let him tell the truth. If thiopental does allow people to tell the truth, the Mumbai terror attacks will unravel the secret. But the drug's effects how?
The above scenario sounds like a Bond movie plot: dose of a drug, people will tell you the truth. However, even thousands of years ago by the ancient Romans had already noted, the dose of certain substances is to let a person say more authentic. The ancient Romans created the phrase "In vino veritas" is the "drink vino".
Now, India police are considering the use of "spit real medicine" thiopental trial an accused of involvement in terrorist attacks in Mumbai. It is understood that, in previous criminal trials, they have put this drug as a trial of accessibility. Thiopental, also known as Amyl thiobarbituric, is on the brain and spinal cord in the receptor of barbituric acid salt. United Kingdom of psychiatrists as treatment phobia prescription drugs. This drug has anesthetic effect, the United States some States use it to perform injection die.
Thiopental can weaken the part of the brain, eliminate it of the activity suppressed so that people can't help but talk. Those who support such drugs as a "spit real medicine" people think, thiopental through these methods enable a person to relax, in this case, they will find a lie is more difficult than to tell the truth.
So this medicine is to let people tell you the truth of? Australia New South Wales criminal scientist and interrogation expert Michael · Enders said: "liars very difficult, very demanding. Anything as long as you can undermine a person to perform this kind of mental capacity, it might be considered a ' throw genuine drugs '. For example, in some cases, it does have such an effect. Drinkers will find lying more difficult than to tell the truth. Therefore they will tell the truth. Many drugs have similar effects. ”
However Enders said that if a local anesthetics were found to provide reliable results, and on the risk of staff on trial, then it will be widely used, especially before the United States, the former Soviet Union and other countries are looking for a way out of the truth, so that if thiopental has this wonderful effect, these countries had started to use it. But many have not discovered the double agent pointed out that in reality this is not an anesthetic, its effect is limited.
Chicago history of modern medicine expert Ellison · winter said some psychiatric researchers claimed that a person may be thiopental of lying. "But there's the most common view is that medication narcotic anesthetic status of patients in the self-control than calm time even worse, so they can't be anesthetized State are not like a person intentionally anesthesia to lie. ”
However, with regard to a person in thiopental effect the reliability of the information provided is that a person in the anaesthetic, than he normally more vulnerable to the question of implied. Therefore, some being drugged person might make the wrong answer, because they are based on a deliberate or unintentional implied to answer.
United States has sought to "9 · 11" event after the capture of terrorists injection of local anesthetics. Although the use of thiopental trials of war criminals practices are the Geneva conventions prohibit, but this does not exclude bring local anesthetics used on terror suspects. However, in many countries, the Court did not adopt a man under the influence of local anesthetics to provide testimony, including the United States, United Kingdom and India.
Winter said, before and after around 1920, the term "spit real medicine" for the first time in the United States, Texas, is used to describe the obstetricians Robert · Hoth achieved important results, House notes, injection drug scopolamine, his patients will obviously be unconsciously by answering some questions.
1920s, he used thiopental or an m form sodium (sodium amytal) replaces scopolamine, began to take this drug is used in the courts of the defendant in order to determine the truth of the statements. Winter said: "' spit real medicine ' concept formation in the early stages more ironic, since a few years later, people take it and force the trial link more closely. Mandatory interrogation is a method used to get from the mouth of tried and true confessions of a method, in this way, you will seek the views of the trial. ”
Winter said, "during World War II" and "after" of World War II, military psychiatrists will make use of this drug help traumatized soldiers remember ever happened. The 1950s and 1960s, United States Central Intelligence Agency has also been on thiopental, but even today does not determine its role is, therefore, India, and now want to use this drug from terrorists mouth set out the truth, the same is not true.
