Interesting story.

Makes me think about how therapy's for mental disorders effect the personality. It would be strange to stop taking anti-biotics because you felt your strep-throat was a part of you or your lipitor because your high blood pressure was part of your sense of self. Chemical treatments for mental disorders are a different animal. I wonder what other ways the man mentioned in the story changed.

This reminds me of The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton. Scary stuff.

I'd love to quit. Maybe I should bang that section of my head against the wall.

Maybe they were right about lobotomys all along
