It can because it's highly addicting, and the person would want more. And half a pill still does the same damage, just in lesser a dose.

Hi There,
Users take the drug to enhance feelings of empathy with other people and increase sensitivity to their surroundings.
Sound, colour and emotions can seem much more intense.
The energy buzz from ecstasy means users may dance for hours.
These feelings tend to last three to six hours.
The risks:
As the drug kicks in, users may experience an initial rush of nervousness, and uncertainty, a tightening of the jaw, increase heart rate, sweating, and nausea. This is sometimes known as 'coming up'.
Some users have reported a bad experience on ecstasy, including feelings of paranoia and confusion.
Much depends on the content of the drug and the user's state of mind at the time.
Ecstasy effects the body's thermostat.
Dancing for long periods in a hot pace such as a club increases the chances of users overheating and/or dehydrating (see below for advice).
Taking ecstasy may leave women susceptible to cystitis and thrush.
Men report difficulties in attaining an erection or orgasm while on ecstasy.
After the effects have subsided, users can feel tired and depressed for days.
There is some debate into to the long term psychological effects of ecstasy use, including links to possible brain damage.
The law:
Ecstasy is a Class A drug.
It is illegal to reproduce, supply, or possess the drug.
Supplying ecstasy can result in life imprisonment and a fine.
If you are planning to take this drug:
To avoid overheating and dehydration especially when dancing, users should take regular breaks and sip about a pint of non-alcoholic fluid such as fruit juice or isotonic sports drinks over the course of each hour.
Be aware that not all ecstasy tablets contain MDMA, and the effects may be unexpected.
Do not mix alcohol with ecstasy or other drugs (MDMA and viagra is especially dangerous).

There are actually very few deaths related to the chemicals in ecstacy. The deaths come in from either overheathing/dehydration and too much water. The chances of even a whole pill of ecstacy killing you are ver very slim.
Ecstacy can cause damage to your body in any amount, but damage is *usually* only over the long term.
A few possible side affects are allergic reaction (rare), which would result very soon after taking the pill, and dehydration which is much more common and can be prevented by drinking plenty of water or sports drink, but not too much.
Most ecstacy deaths are caused by hyperperyxia, where your body overheats. This is prevented by having a "buddy" where you regularly check one anothers temperature. If one person begins to overheat, you get them in a cool shower and let them drink some water. This can happen with just half a pill.
There is also risk of hyponatremia, which happens when you drink so much water that you dilute your blood stream, your brain swells, and you die. This can be prevented by monitoring your liquid intake, and drinking normal amounts of water at regular intervals. This can also happen with just half a pill.
There are many MANY long term affects that are not dependent on dose size. So you don't want to do it too many times.
That's about all that half a pill of ecstacy, one time, can do to you. Please read [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) for all the information you could ever need about ecstacy. It is the most unbiased source I could find.
Good luck.
