Will we discover pharmaceuticals that could alter romance?
« on: 14/12/2019 20:08:38 »
Hello everyone,

There is an upcoming book that is titled <<advertising removed>>. It will discuss how pharmaceutical interventions that could alter romantic/sexual feelings.

I expect the most controversial chapter in the book will be Chapter 11: Avoiding <<spam>>. Spam that could alter spam orientation through high-tech interventions.

What do scientists consider ethical to alter in humans?

It is against the rules of the forum to advertise. Please desist. If you are interested in science feel free to ask a question.

Even the most obstinately ignorant cannot avoid learning when in an environment that educates.

Oxytocin is said to promote family love; more a result of romantic love, not the trigger for it. It also has a dark side, as it promotes xenophobia.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin

Would a drug that promotes romantic love also cause rampaging jealousy?

Jealousy in the person who took the drug? MDMA is another possibility.

It very much depends on the scientist.
The question is a bit like asking "what do scientists think about rock music?".
