I just read an article in which stated that electrical brain stimulation of certain regions of the brain can induce a euphoria that is perfect. It states that the test subject would rather experience such happiness rather than any other activity, including those such as eating if starving or other life threatening situations. From the right for all americans to pursue happiness, is not it reasonable that one can implant an electrode into one's own brain to induce euphoria? Laws do not pervent getting a tattoo, or cutting yourself with a knife, or even sometimes committing suicide, but the pervention of medical surgical procedures is prevailant. We may seem to think that it is all about corporate America, who will buy the goods and help businesses succeed if everyone just wanted one thing:to stimulate their brain for mere cents rather than buy a expensive meal, car, house, etc.? How can any country have a right to our body if they claim to be a free democracy? We are born with the right
