"It used to be believed that babies as old as 15 months couldn’t feel pain. As a result, doctors would preform surgery without anesthesia. Doctors used muscle relaxants on the infants to prevent squirming, essentially paralyzing the babies for the duration of the procedure. How long ago was this? Reports indicate that this continued up until the 1980’s."

#14 They still practice that ritualistic savagery in Africa and Haiti. Don't believe me? Don't care. But, they most certainly do.

#3 Sadly this is also how some severely Autistic people are. Not so much the sleepiness, but I see them totally disengaged until I point out something or hold their hand and guide them back to the present.

#4 Terrifying, since I remember being under the age of 18 months, and pain was definable, and I still remember falling on bricks and stepping on carpeting tack nails. Many people don't recall thise times, and I hope they never do.

#14 don't forget ancient mummy powder that was a cure-all, and a very specific color of paint. Thaaats right, old paintings may be made of dried up and ground human flesh.
