Anti-Love Pill




An American neuroscientist named Larry Young, of the Emory University School of Medicine, is operating under the theory that love is a chemical state like any other, and can be controlled as such. His research into prairie voles has shown that lifelong mating can be triggered, prolonged or even blocked by altering the level of certain chemicals in their brains. By injecting various levels of oxytocin intoa female prairie vole's brain, Young was able to get the animal--a notoriously, fiercely monogamous creature--to immediately drop her current lifelong mate and bond, just as permanently, to the nearest male instead. In addition to officially using science for the saddest thing ever (crushing the hearts of adorable rodents), Young has also stumbled onto something potentially world-changing, because oxytocin has already shown similar effects in human patients.

How This Will Change The World:

How much tragedy has been caused by irreparable heartbreak? How many suicides were triggered by the lasting pain of shattered or just unrequited love? What if you could just turn off the heartbreak with a pill? Or, conversely, what if you could hook up with the first person you see, roll on down to the neighborhood Walgreen's for your love-pills, and then experience the same euphoria as Romeo and Juliet, no matter what your prior feelings? Control over one of our strongest emotions could eliminate half of the world's untimely deaths, from lover's quarrels to suicides, thus changing the very face of society. Also, emo bands would probably shut up, so that's a clear win...
I THINK SO THAT AFTER THIS DISCOVERY EVERY 2ND PERSON OF Pakistan WILL USE IT :p
