This article delves into the intersection of neuroscience and ethics, examining the potential for drugs and technology to alter personality, enhance cognitive abilities, and even read thoughts through brain imaging. It raises critical questions about future neurological diseases and their implications, the ethics of memory manipulation, and the fine line between abnormalities and differences. As researchers uncover incidental findings, we explore whether these advancements matter if conditions are curable and the responsibilities that come with such powerful technologies.

Drug/manipulation to alter personality • Knowledge of future neurological/mental disease (Does it matter if it is curable? Location? Probability?) • Brain imaging for lie detection; machines that could read your mind • Incidental findings for researchers • Cognitive Enhancement (drugs; electrical stimulation) • Selective memory removal (memory insertion?) • Difference between an “abnormality” and “being different”?
