A noble thought....... But it makes me think, be careful what you wish for.

Humans are emotion driven creatures. There are floods of constantly
changing chemicals coursing through our bodies and brains. If you lose
the emotions, you lose a lot of what makes you human.

Perhaps the benefit of increased rationality might have rather large
unforeseen consequences.

Kirk: At times you seem quite human.
Spock: Captain, I don't think that insults are within your prerogative
as my commanding officer.
