Yes, I was thinking that this had shades of Clockwork Orange in it when I read the headline.

Normal kids or poorly disciplined ones are diagnosed as ill.
Lazy or ignorant parents are viewed as victims.
The pharma companies, some bad behaviorist psychologist and counselor make a whole bunch of money.
Why are you complaining, everything is perfect?!/sarc

“Improve” behavior. Sounds like they’re admitting that there IS a standard of behavior, and that some behaviors are closer to that standard and are therefore better.
Now, who defined this standard and where is it?
Why is it “better” than other human defined standards?

“A pill to enhance moral behaviour, a treatment for racist thoughts, a therapy to increase your empathy for people in other countries -”
In other words, we can medicate away those evil conservatives and live in the perfect liberal PC utopia.

While we "can't legislate morality," apparently we
can medicate it.
It will be fun to watch those who are in favor of such intervention to eliminate racism run screaming into the night at the mention of the possibility of eliminating homosexuality.

More like Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’...
