sick squirrels and Ritalin

Increasing numbers of people are using prescription drugs like Ritalin to boost alertness and brain power. A UK bioethics professor says people should be allowed to make their own minds up about using drugs like Ritalin to boost alertness and brain power.

Yes, people should be allowed to make up their own minds, their own deeply drug-addicted minds.
