Mhmm.. funny the article mentions it's an illegal party drug but not that is widely used in veterinary anesthesia.

  You mean, apart from the bit at the end which says: The Home Office is reclassifying ketamine in the UK to be a class B drug, although it is already used in medicine for the treatment of back pain and as an anaesthetic.

    I think it's also used on infants as well as it is does not effect the respiratory system.

  Too true. Unfortunately, in the eyes of almost all world governments, any drug that's enjoyable seems to automatically lose any medically useful properties it may possess. It's a sad situation that could be fixed with real drug education and not the one-sided propaganda programs (D.A.R.E. and friends) that substitute for it.

  And in humans, too! If you've had a colonoscopy, you may have been administered ketamine before the procedure.
