- W1497202577 abstract "Almost every day, we try to control our emotions—by avoiding boring events, taking hot baths to relax, pinching ourselves to stop laughing, and in a million other ways. We live in times where it is also possible to control our emotions using biomedical means—for example, by taking pills that would make us feel better. If we understand enhancement to be the contrary of therapy or treatment, then the use of antidepressants in cases of severe depression is clearly not an example of enhancement. But many use antidepressants in circumstances where it is doubtful that any disorder is present, and this use of ‘positive mood enhancers’ in order to feel ‘better than well’ is highly controversial. In this chapter I want to consider one worry about the biomedical enhancement of mood. It is hardly the only worry, but it is a worry that seems to me to play an important role in more familiar objections to biomedical enhancement of mood, such as the objection that it would lead to inauthenticity. It is, however, a distinct and important worry, and deserves to be addressed directly. The worry is that the use of positive mood enhancers will corrupt our emotional lives. I will explicate this worry and what it presupposes, and then argue that although it has genuine force, it does not add up to a persuasive objection to the biomedical enhancement of mood. As will emerge, one reason why it does not add up to such an objection is that, in an important respect, our emotional lives are already awry." @default.
