This does not seem like a good thing to me, I’ve yet to hear a ethicist weight in on this, but I can think of a few arguments against this discovery ever being used. Yes, it would be nice to help those of us who suffer from panic attacks and those with post traumatic stress, but it’s also not heard to imagine this being abused or even weaponized.

“MIT biochemists have identified a molecular mechanism behind fear, and successfully cured it in mice, according to an article in the journal Nature Neuroscience.”

“Researchers from MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory hope that their work could lead to the first drug to treat the millions of adults who suffer each year from persistent, debilitating fears — including hundreds of soldiers returning from conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

“Emotional disorders such as post-traumatic stress and panic attacks stem from the inability of the brain to stop experiencing the fear associated with a specific incident or series of incidents.”
