I like what Michael Mandel had to say on this subject back in 2006: "Suppose that a pharmaceutical company was selling a pill that would improve your memory by 30% or your IQ by 30%, with the same sort of side effects as steroids. Would you be willing to take them for 3 or 5 critical years in your career? What if you knew that everyone else was taking them? What if you knew that the Chinese or the French were taking them? And would you be willing to give your kids these pills in, say, the junior year of high school, to increase the odds of getting a good score on the SAT?" http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/2006/03/steroids_vs_the.html http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/arch...
