Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-01-05]: Scientists announced that they are close to the production of a vaccine that will help people against the addictive effects of cocaine, after encouraging initial results from experiments on mice [1]. Besides the obvious - thus the fact that people who get cocaine like the effects of cocaine so why would they worry about being addicted to it? - this scientific news reveal once more the illogical "logic" of some people. Human will to live cannot be replaced by vaccines. If you lack the will, no matter how many vaccines you get, you will always find something else to be addicted to... Science must start approaching people instead of treating them like machines that need the right lubricant to work...
