Oh my fault, I thought you were trying to say LSD was physically as dangerous as heroine. Yeah though, society does seem to stigmatize anything labeled bad. But scientists know better then that, they could easily study the effects of LSD on this guy and keep it under wraps if they wanted to. I don't think it could be that hard to hide.

I doubt they've tried LSD, since it's illegal and considered as dangerous as heroin and all. I know that I'd want myself to try it if I was ever in that state. However, seeing as he constantly "wakes up", waking up in the middle of an LSD trip might be a frightening experience. Or not, who knows?

LSD is not as dangerous as heroin, at least not as far as it's effects on your body are concerned. maybe you should ask your D.A.R.E. teacher to give you the straight dope.

It's even less dangerous than tobacco and alcohol, according to all credible sources, but it still has this dangerous "aura" around it. People think just touching LSD will make you an insane murderer rapist clown or something. It's because of that it is highly unlikely that they've tried LSD, or ever will. BTW, what's a D.A.R.E teacher?

His memory loss is due to the atrophy of an area of the brain associated with the consolidation of memories (the hippocampus). So my guess is LSD would not change the fact that he can't recall things that occurred over 30 seconds ago, although he would still probably trip.

does he recognize pictures of his parents or siblings or other relatives other than his wife?

It's true. It can be hard to understand for some people, but things like what weather constitutes March, this is a sort of "common knowledge" that is stored in the semantic memory, a specific part of brain function. These sort of things that are pretty much common sense are stored there, as well as things like the taste of an apple or who's the queen of England - even though that sort of things, as mentioned in the video, Clive does not so much recall.

I do not agree, although there is a non-pathological, conceptual congruence between certain possibilities of conscious awereness and focussed attention and this mans condition, this is illness; he has no dynamics to return to a more '' everyday '' state to live his life normally ! While we obviously have.

It must be very tough on the wife, for her to go through the routine of 'seeing him for the first time' every day for countless amounts of times.
