Elements in bioethics and neuroethics. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 520 $a Recent research in neurochemistry has shown there to be a number of chemical compounds that are implicated in the patterns of lust, attraction, and attachment that undergird romantic love. For example, there is evidence that the phenomenon of attachment is associated with the action of oxytocin and vasopressin. There is therefore some reason to suppose that patterns of lust, attraction, and attachment could be regulated via manipulation of these substances in the brain: in other words, by their use as 'love drugs'. A growing bioethical literature asks searching questions about this prospect, and especially about the use of such drugs to enhance or reignite attachment in flagging relationships. This Element examines some of the central arguments on the topic, and sounds a note of caution. It urges that there are reasons to think the states of attachment produced or facilitated by the use of such drugs would not be desirable. 650 0 $a Psychotropic drugs $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Love. 650 0 $a Medical ethics. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations. 650 0 $a Bioethics. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781009299060 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in bioethics and neuroethics. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1BEDDEAE97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
