Summary:
Is there a pill for love? How about an ‘anti-love medication,’ to help us get over an ex lover? This reserve argues that certain psychoactive substances, including MDMA-the active ingredient in Ecstasy-may help ordinary couples work through relationship difficulties and reinforce their connection. Others may help sever an emotional connection during a break up. These substances currently exist, plus they have transformative implications for how we think about like. This book builds a case for conducting about Love Drugs: The Chemical Future of Human relationships analysis into ‘like medicines’ and ‘anti-love medicines’ and explores their moral implications for individuals and culture. Scandalously, Western medication tends to ignore the interpersonal effects of drug-based interventions. Why are we still in the dark about the effects of these medicines on intimate partnerships? And how do we overhaul scientific research norms to take relationships more fully into account?
Ethicists Brian D. Earp and Julian Savulescu state that enough time to think through such questions is now. Like Drugs arms us with the most recent scientific understanding and a couple of honest tools that we can use to choose if these sorts of medications should be a part of our society. Or whether a chemical romance will end up being right for us.
