It seems to me that if this drug ever hits the market, we're going to have a huge problem on our hands... the fact is, the only thing preventing a large chunk of the world's population from hurting, murdering, raping, or doing otherwise nasty things to other people (and other living creatures too) is fear. Take away that primal emotion and all hell would break loose for anyone who didn't have a strong set of morals and values to begin with... and it's arguable as to whether a lack of fear would affect the set of morals that someone already has. Sure it might be nice to get rid of some of our more irrational fears, but what's the price?... that being said, I'm sure the US Military is throwing a whackload of money at this project;)
