This was one of the most interesting articles I have read so
far. Obviously a morality pill that would correct all violent and harmful
tendencies would save thousands of lives and be a cure to basically all crime.
However if this world were made to have no sin or mortality, it would have been
that way already. A science phenomenon cannot change the entire humanistic ways
of a society. As brutal and awful as some people can be, the world has adapted.
If we did not have crime, we would not have thousands of jobs that man our
police and government defense forces. If we did not have psychopaths with
abnormal brains, we would not have specialized doctors and hospitals to
accommodate them. Yes, this would put a stop to the some hundreds of crimes
that happen a year, but what about the hundreds of thousands of schools, jobs,
and professions that would be dissipated because of it. Our free will is
something that can never be tampered with because it has been deep rooted in
not only our DNA but also, our history for thousands of years. Everything
started with Adam and Eve and I do not think a pill will be substantial enough
to convince millions of people to desert the belief of their right to free
will.
Avery, I agree with you on your opinion of the idea on the morality pill. This pill is just ridiculous and I think that it should never be prescribed. Yes, a crime free society sounds nice but I just think it would be one heck of a boring day to day life. If a pill like this were to be invented, I could not imagine what would happen. I can’t say that it would be a totally negative thing but I just do not think that this would be a very good idea. Nobody would be down for the idea that there is going to be controlled by a pill. I know that I wouldn’t.
