I am very troubled by the attention that oxytocin is getting right now. It is not a [pheromone](https://a314.com/) but a hormone, and I think ethical boundaries can very quickly be crossed if we get to a place where people might have the opportunities to dose someone with oxytocin without consent. ---

Yes - one thing to dose yourself and something else to dose someone else without their knowing it. ---

Better to find a pill that will heal a broken heart. That discovery would be a priceless boon to mankind. The best I’ve been able to come up with is 5-HTP. ---
