Suicidal Tendencies

While researching for my topic over whether kids around my age should take Accutane or not, I stumbled across an article linking cases to this powerful acne fighting drug.  However, they do not have concrete evidence yet; the threat that this might be true worries me.  It has already been proven to deliver birth defects to women who use this drug while pregnant.  This makes me feel that if this drug presents problems to one thing why can’t it mess with another.  Even though there is no evidence that show that this medication is associated with these side effects there is also no information that it is not associated with them either.  Supposedly there have been some studies done that show some what of a relation ship but not strong enough for a connection.  People look at it that it just could a coincidence or that people killed themselves because of the stress of severe acne and not the drug.  I don’t care if it turns out that twenty years down the road that this pill does not cause these side effects.  I do not want any of my medication having any association with side effects that present the possibility of death.  This is because if that does happen and I could smile knowing I would be in the same position if I did or not.  However, if it turns out that there is a connection then who is to say ill be alive 20 years down the road, and I would much rather not think about that.
