# New Laser Puts More Authority Behind The Command, "Freeze!" SAN DIEGO.
For decades, SciFi-ers have imagined weapons that use pulses of light to
zap, stun, vaporize, knock out or knock down - without necessarily kill-

alternative to tasers that police also could use from helicopters to
stop fleeing cars. http://www.sddt.com/files/library/98/04/20/tbz.html
: Would you like to have a stun-gun? Who would you use it on? Would you like
to be stunned? Is it a cheap thrill? Would you mind if I stunned you? When?

they simply do not heal, leaving victims permanently paralyzed as doctors
stand by helplessly. But an Israeli start-up firm is shunning conventional
drug treatments in favor of cell therapy in a treatment that shows promise
not only in healing spinal cord injuries but a host of other neurological
diseases. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19990912/sc/health_israel_2.html
