Leukodystrophy

"Leukodystrophy is a neurological disease which affects the brain, the nervous system and spinal chord. Little is know about it. Its quite a mystery how a middle aged duo have gone back in time to a child like state. One of then now has a mental age of ten and giggles constantly. They both watch television, eat crisps, play snakes an ladders, train set and potato head. The other sometimes starts screaming and shouting saying that he doesn't know what he is doing." - The Times Of India (A little edited though)

So now we have no (or hardly) any clue about what 'this' is, how it can be used and its effects. Could this be the key to some kind of time travel? If someone gets this disease knowingly, would he/she relive his/her childhood? In fact the first question is, how does someone acquire this disease? Is it a higher stage of some disease we know about already?

This could also be a potential weapon! Lets say that two armies are at war. One of the army manages to sprinkle some magic powder on the other one and 'tadaaaa!' - you have in a way disarmed a whole regiment! Its worse than dying I think; you actually have no idea what has happened and behave like you are a kid when you are in mid - thirties..

Imagine your friend or neighbour coming and telling you that the adults have gone through a 'mind change'. For a few moments, it may sound funny but it woud become quite scary when you realise nothing can be done about it!

Can you think of thousands of other consequences?....Yes? Then what are comments for? :P

Kanksha ;)
