(William M. Connolley 08:47, 2004 May 14 (UTC)) I split this from the Science (journal) page because it was unbalanced there.

I've also edited para 1 somewhat, to point out that this is not really a peer review problem.

And I've deleted the Blakemore "quote" because as written its impossible to tell whether its a quote, paraphrase, or where Blakemores words end and the editors opinion begins.

"The Ricaurte article was not sensationalized by Science for its implications concerning any pending anti-rave legislation before Congress." This is a POV statement without any qualifications. Or was it supposed to be a quote? 80.203.115.12 13:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] This article needs renaming

The article refers not to the general controversy about MDMA neurotoxicity but a specific issue of "the retracted finding of dopaminergic MDMA toxicity in primates". It should be renamed. I'm not sure how one goes about doing that.
