Question
Hi there,

I am doing research on 'STRANGE, UNKNOWN & FICTIONAL MEDICINES"

Example: Viagra - Reason: Designed for one purpose but ended up being marketed for another.

QUESTION: I have seen in several movies like 'The Professional' where the criminal uses a tablet that caused him to be emotionless or without remorse when carrying out his act. I saw it also in a Bollywood Movie (India). I have never heard of the medicine. Is it fictional or does it exist. I think I saw a clip on 60 Minutes years ago on this drug/medicine.

Answer
Hi Paul,
I am not aware of such a drugs. But any tranquillizing or mind-altering drug will do the job.
