Ultimate heroin safety test

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

This has just appeared in Chuck Shepherd's News of the Weird

(.760 - September 1 2002):

An 18-year-old high school student, attempting to prove that heroin is not addictive, overdosed and died on his first-ever experience (his impressions of which he had just begun to chronicle on his computer before he passed out) (Fort Worth, Tex., May).

That's gotta be worth an award! It's very stupid, fatal, quite public (with the writing about it on the computer), and it's unlikely he had reproduced at 18 years of age!

not too often that someone records their own death...

It would be nice to know what thoughts he did chronicle prior to his passing out. That might make this story more interesting.

Definitely Toss: Repeat
Stupid, fatal, public, passes the maturity test (just)... but we got it about ten times when it happened back in May. Darwin's news gathering network is wider than Chuck Shepherds, and faster too.


Gregory said:
Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
An example of how NOT to do scientific research.


Bert said:
Definitely Toss: Too Common
Drug OD's are way too common. The computer angle is odd, but doesn't make it a Darwin-
