PJ, have you noticed those who take the greatest interest in cosmetic
surgery are those who are already beautiful?  The most advanced
communications tech is used by those who already communicated effectively,
and steroids are mostly used by the already buff.  Perhaps society will
accept that cognitive enhancers should be explored by the already smart.
