“[there are] four problems associated with the application of the Belmont principles to cognitive enhancement… as nootropic use moves beyond medical research and clinical practice: informed consent systems are absent; incertitudes are disguised as risks; unintended effects on the healthy may not be the same as known side-effects when the drugs are used by the sick; and unjust patterns of social relations – perhaps resulting from baseline dependencies, dose conflicts or trade-offs – may result, not only from unequal allocation or access, but also from the pharmaceutical mediation of social relations.”
