“…Scientific surveys show that students' motivations for using prescription stimulants primarily have to do with increasing alertness and concentration in order to perform better, and they often link this practice to competitive study environments (McCabe et al 2005(McCabe et al , 2014. In discussions among bioethicists, doctors, and others in the field of neuroenhancement, there is doubt about how effective stimulants are as the socalled 'cognitive enhancers' (Ilieva and Farah 2013;Jongh et al 2008;Quednow 2010), and therefore also about whether or not cognitive enhancement constitutes an ethical problem (Farah et al 2004;Greely et al 2008; Quednow 2010). From an anthropological perspective, the efficacy of a drug depends on more than its chemical effects on the body (van der Geest, Whyte, and Hardon 1996).…”

“…Studien zeigten, dass 8-35 % der College-Studenten Stimulanzien zu nicht-medizinischen Zwecken einnahmen [38]. in der wissenschaftlichen gemeinschaft wird ein progressiver Umgang mit ne gefordert und entsprechende Selbstauskünfte weisen auf eine Verwendung hin [17,30,44]. auch deutsche Wissenschaftler fordern einen liberalen Umgang mit leistungssteigerndem ne [13].…”

“…Archie's decision to use Ritalin seems similar although, we might decide to question whether Archie really is fully informed about the benefits and risks of neuroenhancement because current evidence is somewhat unclear on both accounts. Still, a neurologist who had just seen Larriviere et al's (2009) guidance and who was familiar with the Nature article (Greely et al 2008) that Archie had read might decide to respect Archie's autonomy and prescribe him Ritalin if he asked for it.…”
