Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Scientists predict brave new world of brain pills: "But a new report by leading scientists in the fields of psychology and neuroscience argues that, very soon, there really will be a pill for every ill.
'It is possible that [advances] could usher in a new era of drug use without addiction,' said the report by Foresight, the government's science-based thinktank.
'In a world that is increasingly non-stop and competitive, the individual's use of such substances may move from the fringe to the norm.'"

What a distressing view of a stressful world in the future if these pills will be needed to help people cope.
