In use of any alteration there is a need for discipline in the user to maintain what was to be maintained and remove what has to be removed (e.a. change/alteration).
Case: I can enjoy a few drops of whiskey for a whole evening while others feel the need to chug down a liter a day. Obviously I do this for flavour and enjoy the taste while the other group enjoys the numbing effects of alcohol. Methods can have mulitple effects and changes and it us to the user to be rational about them and up to society to eduacate the masses to be able to make such a rational choice or limit those that can not.
Rant(But of course with "follow the money follow the crime" rational arguments such as educating, coaching or rehabilitating people quickly go out the window when someone proposes an increase of taxes several times on all addictive substances as it generates more food for our fat ones. The real blade twisting from those insufferable insects comes from the fact they dare state as a final spit in the face and display of ignorance that doing so will force people to stop using the product. By some miracle of logic and creative research anyone bold enough to back this up I would greatly enjoy destroying where he/she stands. If it is indeed true that such people govern our future than I would prefer to see the world burn to the ground and provide fertile grounds for a random approach untill statistics solve all problems on their own as the probability of such methods are favorable when compared to the probabilty that Mr. and Ms. Piggy will start giving a $!@#)
The morality behind the questions asked by SK7000 I'm missing here. What is the big question being asked? If the answer was supposed to be binary than, Yes.
We have made this point about it before If I recall correctly I believe we managed to agree that experiencing happiness and understanding/analyzing it are linear independencies.
Considering this could we also consider forced happiness to then be self-destructive? Or would we able to make a method of some kind in which we induce happiness directly as experience by isolating that area specifically and disabling the rational component to have such an effect in the first place?
I would be interested to understand your views better and for that I believe I need to know exactly what the parameters of "induced" happiness involve.
