It sounds highly improbable, that a medicine called 'Fluoxetina', commercialized as 'Prozac', and some other antidepressants, apart from altering the mental state of patients, could be used to help or balance certain moral conducts, and rehabilitate wicked, felonious or criminal behaviours.
That was assured by the doctors Guy Kahane and Tom Douglas, in the book they co-authored 'Enhancing Human Capacities'. Further more, the future medical advances will facilitate and expedite moral and complex manipulations.
All good guys. Half the doctors and most of the psychiatrists would be out of a job. Priests would be twiddling their thumbs all day with no sinners confessing and asking for absolutions; police and lawyers' jobs can be done by anyone without a special diploma or degree ... On the bigger picture, there would be no conflicts, no wars, an absolutely perfect world. I wonder whether more than a few might consider it boring!?
