Combat Pilots May Get Viagra 5

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday February 07, 2008 @01:55PM

Israel is considering giving its combat pilots Viagra to improve their performance in the air. A study by Israeli doctors of mountain climbers in Africa found a correlation between erectile dysfunction drugs and improved performance in high altitudes. It looks like this already tough job is about to get a lot harder.

I fully agree, however: I don't think the original poster meant to imply that the students drive the research more than the professors, only to say that the salaries shouldn't be cut. ($8.75 is not much -- I make more than that as a teaching assistant/grader). Students involved in research are bright and innovative, and to refer to them as "just kids" is what offended me.
