Life without pain is not a blessing.

Feeling no pain not the blessing it seems Life without pain signal is dangerous, report on rare disorder shows The Associated Press Updated: 5:47 p.m. ET Dec. 13, 2006 Excerpt: In a discovery that could lead

to better painkillers, scientists have identified a genetic defect in children who cannot feel pain. Sound like a blessed way to live? It’s not. In Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature, scientists who found the gene describe six related children who have never felt pain in their lives because of the very rare disorder. The children come from three families with roots in northern Pakistan. Their experience illustrates that pain is an important warning of injury, disease or danger that signals people to save themselves from further injury. Life without that signal, the report shows, is dangerous. Because the children felt no pain from biting themselves, for example, all six had injuries to their lips, some requiring later plastic surgery. Two had lost one-third of their tongues. Most had suffered fractures or bone infections that were diagnosed

only later on because of limping or lack of using a limb. © 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

that it has been the cause of so much disease, so many deaths, such a vast amount of utterly needless and altogether undeserved suffering, that it will be classed by the coming generation among the greatest errors of an ignorant and prejudiced age, and its penal enforcement the foulest blot on the generally beneficent course of legislation during our century."-----Alfred Russel Wallace [book 1898] Vaccination A Delusion.
