1 | If a substantial assessment of the potential negative effects is available, there should be no more controls on “brain enhancements” than there are today on alcohol and tobacco, letting the market decide. |
2 | “Brain enhancements” should in any circumstance be regulated under strict medical control – that is, they need to be prescribed by a medical doctor. |
3 | “Brain enhancements” should not be available to the general public but research should be carried on (with clinical trials, military use, etc.) in order to understand the long-term consequences, both medical and social. |
4 | It is morally unacceptable to use this kind of stimulants to enhance a normal behaviour, therefore the use of such substances should be a therapeutical one only - treatment of diseases, impairments and other disorders. |
