This article examines the ethical consequences of the use of performance enhancing technology in the military. The author focuses on the philosophy of morality as it relates to the topic, then gives real life examples from drugs that are being considered for military use "to make a better soldier."

It raises some interesting ethical questions on the use and testing of mood altering drugs.

Interesting - I could only access the abstract and wasn't sure if there were specifics if this was mere speculation. Was impressed by the author's constant and to me fatuous ref to morality and ethics. As a former soldier (fortunate enough not to have faced active combat) I think he's full of crap time invested to consider the morality of a situation will obviously and exponentially increase the risk.
