Should this page be killed and replaced by a re-direct to phenethylamine?

Yes, I think so. If there is something new here it could be incorporated there. --Cacycle 16:22, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

There is a link from the Phenylalanine page to Phenylethylamine, because this is the only substance the body can make from D-phenylalanine. However, the redirect to the more general page on β-phenylethylamine (i.e. phenethylamine) is confusing since many of the same substances the page on the amino acid says cannot be made with the enantiomer are made from phenethylamine. And besides that, if the two are the same.... what is α-phenylethylamine? If anything, Phenethylamine should redirect here. Anyway.
