A report on ‘paracetamol-induced’ child death in Bangladesh!

I feel to analyze one report, published on ‘The daily Ittefaq’ on 23rd July issue, 2009, demonstrating deaths of twenty-three children in Bangladesh after intake of ‘paracetamol syrup’. Doctors in Bangladesh found that those ‘paracetamol syrup’ (brand name was not given) contained toxic chemicals (Ethylene and diethylene glycol) mixed up during manufacturing, which stimulated acute renal failure and terminated the lives of children. It is always heartbreaking news for us, the deaths of children either from natural or unnatural. The most disgusting and intolerable issue relating with drug-induced child death, should not be accepted in this modern civilization around the world when medical science is more advanced to augment the lifespan of humans. It is also not endurable when the cause of death is ‘drug’ (medicine), because drugs save lives from diseases. I personally feel, it is the time to open up mentality from pursuing most awful deeds, that instigating fatalities of humans such as children and/or adults in this modern civilization.
