Being hit with a Taser stun gun in the chest can lead to cardiac arrest and death, according to a new study. The research by Douglas Zipes , a heart specialist at the Krannert Institute of Cardiology in Indianapolis, Indiana, was based on records he acquired as a plaintiff's expert witness in a number of lawsuits involving US police use of the controversial stun gun. Zipes examined eight cases between 2006 and 2009 in which "previously clinically healthy males" aged between 16 and 48 lost consciousness during or after tasings, when one or both of the current-carrying darts were lodged "near or over the heart". Seven of them died. In each case, Zipes analysed how long each shock lasted and cardiac responses measured by paramedics, when available ( Circulation , DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.112.097584 or bit.ly/stundeath ). He found that 50,000-volt stuns to the chest can induce irregular heartbeats that lead to cardiac arrest.

Great post, Ron! These are all beautiful books, and it's hard to imagine a living sf writer as deserving of the Grand Master award as is Moorcock. Regarding his musical influence, mention must be made of the British space-rock band Hawkwind, with whom Moorcock used to perform on occasion. Some years back, they did a concept album based around Elric and other Moorcock creations, such as Jerry Cornelius. Moorcock himself is an accomplished musician.
