Msolga, your concerns are addressed in the article. It describes the positive uses as in PTSD, by removing the horrific memories of the traumatic event that brought on the disorder. A soldier, however, would be a 'perfect killing machine' while on this pill.
How does one judge if the good outweighs the bad?
Gee, in my drugged memory - that is always the priority Diane - does the good outweigh the bad?!
BillW, that should be the question, but do you think the pharmaceutical companies will care, or will they pay their high priced lobbyists to get the OK to start production? That is the real question and I think we all know the answer.
Diane, whatever to make the almight $ - final test, decision made!

In this sort of circumstance I honestly don't know, Dianne. I would just prefer that no one had to go through such traumatic experiemce, fullstop. How people survive this I can't imagine.
Agree completely msolga.
After this awful war, there will be more young people with PTSD. We can only hope that they can handle it in the same way BillW did after the last awful war.
For those who can't, this would be a humane solution I think; yet , maybe human suffering shouldn't be tampered with to that extreme.
The other possible uses are almost too chilling to contemplate.
Don't wish too much for such a pill. We may become the victims of alzeimers. c.i.
