I wonder though, if everyone would respond the same exact way?
It reminds me of the movie Serenity and the chemical they pumped into the air filters on the planet Miranda. It was meant to calm the population. Weed out aggression. Well it worked but everyone who responded "favorably" to the treatment just stopped doing everything and laid down and died. About 10% of the population had the opposite effect and they went mad.
Now I know this only a movie. But we see this in nursing all the time. Take Benadryl for example. In most of the population this activates sleepiness. But a percentage of people do have the opposite effect when given benadryl and will instead climb the walls and become ultra alert.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is - this sounds DANGEROUS, in my opinion. Neurology is just getting started, and there is still more that we don't know than do - about the human brain.
