A "Smart" Pill?
This thread could just have well been posted in the Other Sciences forum, but instead, I decided to put it in the philosophy thread so as to debate the ethics behind a smart pill (more on just what that is in a second). I want to know peoples opinion on the smart pill, and for those who have not heard of the idea yet, maybe you all can state an opinion in here anyways...
The "smart" pill is not some sort of nanotechnology, but rather a pill which would increase an individuals intelligence, memory, basically, make you more "intelligent", whatever that is...
The problem with the smart pill, is it is already facing debate before the pill is even on the market! Many believe it is not ethical to create a pill which can make humans more intelligent... So I ask this: what do you think?
