China Drills Holes In Drug Users' Heads

Chinese authorities have resumed treating drug users with brain surgery, after abandoning the practise less than two years ago over health issues.

The controversial procedure involves doctors drilling a one centimetre hole in a person's head into which is inserted a long needle deep into the brain, which is then heated to up to 80 degrees Celsius and clamped inside the patient's head for seven days. The operation is supposed to destroy the part of the brain linked to addiction, though previous victims complained of 'memory loss, extreme mood swings and weakened sex drive' (Daily Telegraph).

The technique was first tested in Russia in 1999, when doctors from the Institute of the Human Brain in St Petersburg drilled holes in 335 people's heads, and (unlike in China) no anaesthetics were used. However, Russia stopped drilling druggies in 2002 after patient Alexander L complained he not only suffered headaches but also went back on drugs, much to the dismay of chief surgeon Sergei Pokohmov.

"The patient's complaints are not serious or true, and the court's decision (to stop operations) was made without considering any medical expertise," he told the Guardian in 2002.

"Until now we have had no complaints about the operation. As with any medical procedure, we do not guarantee 100% success," he moaned.

Looks as if this wasnt cutting it any longer
 
Wtf this is sick , from china i kinda expected it but they actually invented it in russia 7 years ago?!!
 
I cant axpect this from anywhere, next they will be drilling homosexuals saying it is a repairable disease or some shit ugh, modern medecine is going down hill :(, i cant understand the logic to this.

Most users (i know of) dont use drugs due to addiction, more due to the fact that they want to use them sociallyas they fele it enhances their night =D, this really is a case of stupidity, at its BEST
 
This is why we are attacking nondemocracies so fiercely, both diplomatically and, if they refuse to negotiate and act hostilely, militarily.
 
So, CR, you think the Bush administration is going to recommend we go to war with China? Last I checked, international human rights was near the bottom on our list of national concerns.
 
lol yeah china is big bussines and the u.s new big friend just like russia , really funny you picked an article that mentions these 2 countries for that comment creativerandom
 
thats fucked up right there... it sounds like it destroys some part of the brain.... its probably more likely to deter people from using drugs/getting caught if they know theyre gonna drill a hole in your head and burn your brain for using drugs i mean fuck
 
well it made me laugh even if i didn't get it , that's the point of humor right?
 
i think it just may be for herion addicts that have been using for a long time and are sick or it and will do anything to get off it, then u could sign up for it for free or something like that - its would be more of a help to people than a punishement even tho it is reallly descusting
 
Umm it doesnt even say this is a forced procedure or not?

Are these users volunteering to it? If so thats hardly 'barbaric' as they are choosing it as what is obviously a last resort effort to ditch the habit.

Now if after being arrested say 3x for drug posession and they strapped yor ass to a table and drilled a hole into your head, ya thatd be pretty barbaric.

But if theyre volunteering, who cares???


And USA could never goto war with China. China holds the entire US economy by a string. The USA is Chinas bitch. Outsourcing is a military tactic.

No it's not, we only attack those who have something we are running short of (ie: oil).

By the way don't mean to burst your bubble but most western democracies are just an illusion of democracy hidden under yet another dictatorship of the rich and powerful.

But that's a topic for another C&EP thread not here.

EDIT: HA HA - I get it
