The pills set to make you WANT to exercise more, quit smoking and stay faithful to your partner - Brave New World

The book's author, Mr Linden, told the New York Post that the emerging field poses several important ethical questions. He said: 'Do you honestly think that the FDA will approve a drug to keep men from cheating? I don't think so. 'Even if a drug had no side effects, if it was the perfect drug, I don't think society is going there.' However, Mr Linden misses the fact that the FDA has no jurisdiction over drugs made in other countries, which are already the source of millions of pills routinely smuggled into this country, often through legal mail services via online orders. While Merck or Eli Lilly might not be marketing No Cheat in the next few years, it could conceivably appear on the black market, fuelled by the anxiety of worried lovers. When it comes to such a class of compounds, an early entrant to the legal market is a product called Liquid Trust, which is said to be based on the natural hormone oxytocin, sometimes called the 'cuddle hormone'.   link
