would you buy it? Let's say this device went around your left forearm with several digital readouts and a keypad. A few needles and hoses were stuck in specific veins or arteries. This device would serve many purposes including monitoring your blood glucose levels, test for toxins, etc. In addition it had cartridges that slid into it that contains different chemicals or substances (let's say it can have nine total at one time). These substances would be used to control your mood or energy levels. For example, if you needed energy you could inject adrenaline right into your bloodstream by pressing button 1. Let's say you wanted to relax, you could inject a mild tranquilizer by pressing button 2. The list could go on and on but the basic jist is you could control your emotions by chemicals in the bloodstream...from happiness to euphoria, to peace and relaxation, that nostalgic feeling, or even that tears of joy feeling. Good idea or bad idea?

Well, there's a ton of reasons why this would be a bad idea.
Side-effects, people becoming dependant, people frying their brain cells trying to get high.lol Having an IV in all the time isn't good, either. You'd have to watch for swelling, etc, etc. Too much of a pain for just a boost of happiness or energy when you can improve all that and more just by eating right and excercising.

Bad. To a certain degree. It shouldn't be used at will, but at need. Let's think about manic-depressive people. They need some monitoring. They don't always take their medication when they are on the up side. If the machine would give them their medication anyway, it would be good. The machine would be really bad because of the addiction problem. Whatever substance you inject yourself with to feel good, people will always want more and more. Same principal as with drugs. Emotions shouldn't be messed around with.

They are things that can only be discovered after hundreds and hundreds of trials. And of course, strict restriction needs to be in place. However, because the basis of science is always changing due to new discoveries, we need to also have sympathy to the drug company as well. They are not miracle makers, they only try to make profits by selling something that they "think" might help other people. Imagine the world without antibiotics and other medication, how many people would have to die? If we agree that science can be changed, the drug company might not have an excuse of increasing medication prices because of law suit.Also if we look at any other area that has used the socialist system it has bogged down and failed to live up to its Utopian promise. No system is perfect but open and free market is the best out there.

Well, I usually love your questions about the dynamic of male/female relationships, but this is kind of a weird question, Sandstorm!
I'm not too sure about this device... I don't really want anything on my arm all the time sending stuff to my veins! And, I might become addicted to pressing those buttons all the time when I'm nervous or stressed!
Some people might like this idea, but I'm afraid that it's not for me.

Market it and see how it goes.
Major flop? Bad idea.
Besides, you have to have a degree in medicine and pharmaceuticals to design any such thing.
Maybe you better just go back to that delivery job. It's safer for the rest of us.
And let me just make one suggestion. Include a dose of antibiotics on the thing. Can you say "infection"?

Hmmm... I don't know about you on this one. You are so opposed to antidepressants to control one's mood. Yet here you are wishing for a device to create artifical moods in your woman. Do you want a real woman, with genuine emotions? Or are you looking for a robot who does and acts exactly as you wished at all times?

Pretty bad idea, and very short shelf-life. You'd be sued straight into the soup kitchens after a week of sales. Five hundred people will already have O.D.'d from pushing one of those little drug buttons you mentioned forty times in a row.
Cute idea, though. Very "Brave New World".

Nope, I wouldn't want anything along those lines anywhere near me.
