Reply to "Age of "adulthood""

Found this online...in 1747 Dr. James Lind conducted a "clinical trial" on British Navy sailors after scurvy became a leading cause of death at sea.  He enlisted 6 pairs of men and began different treatments.  The pair that ate oranges and limes were cured within a short time.  Fifty years later, the British Navy recognized the benefit and significance of his evidence and adopted the fruit as part of their preventative medicine onboard,  (Pocock, 1982).  Do our lawmakers, policy writers and politicians understand the science behind neurobiological development and are they willing to accept it?...lets hope it doesn't take fifty years...
