| FDA Revisits Issue Of Antidepressants for Youths | 08/05/2004 | A new Food and Drug Administration analysis of clinical-trial data shows evidence of a link between antidepressant drugs and suicidal tendencies among young people. The finding is likely to reignite debate over the issue and the agency's handling of it.
The new analysis, which focused on 25 studies of nine drugs, found that children and teenagers who took the medicines were more likely to have behavior or thoughts that appeared suicidal, compared with those who got placebo pills. When the analysis used a far broader category of incidents that might possibly reflect suicidal intent -- some of them classified as "not enough information" -- the young people who took the drugs were twice as likely to engage in the behavior.

| Judge A Moral Decision? Look For The Truth! | 08/08/2004 | Moral codes down through time have long taught us that you should not lie, that you should tell the truth. What is truth? What is a lie? WHEN should you tell the truth? Is there such a thing a a "small" "social lie?" Does telling the truth include being a witness on crimes you observe? To whom? What is REAL? These are not simple questions -- they call for some insight into these words and the philosophy of morals. How do you "build" a moral code? Is it just a compilation of what the common man thinks is "right" or "wrong?" Do we take a vote? Who does the compiling? How do you judge a "moral code?"

| Study Gauges Suicidal Behavior In Antidepressant Treatment | 08/05/2004 | A study of more than 2,600 people on antidepressants found that, regardless of the type of drug they took, they were far more likely to exhibit suicidal behavior early in their treatment than later.
The study, published today in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, underscores the need for patients on antidepressants to be monitored closely for suicidal behavior, especially when beginning treatment. The study didn't examine the hotly debated question of whether antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal behavior.

| Way #33 Fulfill Your Obligations | 06/19/2004 | The Jewish perspective, however, is always from the standpoint of responsibility. For example, when the Talmud discusses property damage, it always states the law in terms of "Joe is responsible to pay Bob," as opposed to "Bob has the right to collect from Joe." |
