It angers me that a drug yielding cognitive improvement of X in an Alzheimer's patient is progress, but the same drug yielding the an improvement of X in a healthy patient is abuse. There should be no stigma against improving ourselves.
- WhitneyLand 10y agoHow is it illegal/abuse when you can pay to have similar therapy already or even buy a cheap kit on the internet to hook your brain up to? I don't think anyone is holding back progress. The minute it becomes clear there's cognitive improvement for healthy people the demand and usage will make anabolic steroid use seem tiny in comparison.
- fdsaaf 10y agoThen why is Modafinil still a controlled subtance? What about Adderall? They both greatly improve cognitive performance in healthy people, and they are widely used by healthy people, but we all do this ridiculous dance where we pretend that we're only using these drugs to treat medical conditions.
