It may soon be possible to develop pills that allow parents to induce in themselves more loving behaviour, attitudes and emotions towards their children. In this paper, I consider whether pharmacologically induced parental love can satisfy reasonable conditions of authenticity; why anyone would be interested in taking such parental love pills at all, and whether inducing parental love pharmacologically promotes narcissism or results in self-instrumentalization. I also examine how the availability of such pills may affect the duty to love a child.
或许很快就能研发出一种药丸,让父母能自行对孩子产生更多关爱行为、态度和情感。本文中,我将探讨药物诱导的父母之爱是否能满足真实性的合理条件;人们究竟为何会对服用这种“父母之爱”药丸感兴趣;以及药物诱导的父母之爱是否会助长自恋或导致自我工具化。我还将审视此类药丸的出现会如何影响关爱孩子的责任。
