Academic Ethical Dilemma Learning Enhancement Through...

Academic Ethical Dilemma: Learning Enhancement Through Chemistry There is a trend occurring in the academic world that is gaining in popularity and has many in the academic world worried. This trend is the increase use of drugs to enhance the brains ability to not only work harder, longer and faster but also to retain that knowledge. Doping is no longer the exclusive realm of sports professionals (Block,2003).

Although there appears to be an increasing trend in the use of drugs for this purpose it also appears that this is becoming so widespread that we are turning a blind-eye to the potential negative implications that might result.
