X-Message-Number: 13907 Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 19:55:3 +0000 From: Leon Dean <> Subject: drugs In New Scientist recently there was an article about developing vaccines for the addictive nature of drugs such as heroin and maybe even nicotine. What this article got me thinking about however is the nature of drug use and how this could change with immortality. If we ever reach the holy grail of cryonics and humanity becomes immortal what would be the drawbacks of taking drugs? If smoking, alcohol and the hard drugs caused no side effects then why not do them? Current users would surely increase consumption. Could immortality create a world of drug-fuelled morons?
