People unwilling to act on the climate-crisis narrative should be assisted with drugs that improve and promote conformity, according to eminent bio-ethicist Professor Matthew Liao, of New York University, who also wants to see parents dosing their children with hormones and diets to keep them shorter and less of a burden on the planet.
He wants such people to be given the ‘love drug/cuddle chemical’ oxytocin. This would increase their trust and empathy and make them more ready to change to emission-saving lifestyles.
As his peer-reviewed study puts it, “Pharmacologically induced altruism and empathy could increase the likelihood that we adopt the necessary behavioral and market solutions for curbing climate change.” He emphasises there would be no coercion. The drugs would merely help those who want to be climate-friendly behaviour but lack the willpower
Once sufficiently drugged, parents would be less likely to reject notions of “human engineering” techniques that will be needed to create Humans 2.0. These amended species will be 15cm shorter than now, hence more energy efficient and less resource-demanding. His study, Human Engineering and Climate Change, is in Ethics, Policy and the Environment.[1]

Also, this was not posted in breaking news. The age of the article should be irrelevant unless FR has a requirement I'm not aware of.
In. Other words drug, DRUG Them up. Make LibTurd DUIMMYCRATS.
Exactly what was said here: Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.
This is the logical consequence of secular humanism.When man is the measure of all things, God's rightful place as the measure of all things is replaced with whatever is the zeitgeist of the day. It is now the earth and its worship in place of God. Man has become a fool--unfortunately, he does not know it.
Ethics? Oh gee. Or a total lack thereof.
Yes this is the kind of moral blind “moral innovator” Lewis described in all three lectures in the Abolition of Man of which that was the first. Also made me think of “Brave New World”.
Isn’t this similar to what the Nazi’s were experimenting with in WWII?
They want to do the following to people who don’t believe their climate lies:
Jail them
Fire them
Punish them
Wait for them to die
Kill them
Drug them
Who are the real Nazis?
He's no worse than many other academic loons.
There are many members of the "deep green" movement who want to see the entire human race wiped out, and many more who want to see a mass "die-off" of between 90 and 99% of the human population.
Sounds like the plot of a Michael Crichton work. Unfortunately, some of these loons want to see it a reality, not fiction. They’re insane, literally, certifiably insane and should be treated as such.
And they think that they would be spared.
And he doesn’t know the first thing about thermodynamics or biology. Larger animals are more energy efficient than small ones.

Similarly, you could also mention engineering the chemical make-up of the atmosphere to reflect the suns rays as a method of offsetting the effects of CO2. This also was and is a subject of discussion of preemptively dealing with global warming.
Another of those methods that was discussed back then and was actually done was the addition of iron filings into the Pacific as a way to stimulate the food chain that would ultimately produce more salmon.
As for the issue of the age of the article, this is another example of taking a previously discounted alarmist conspiracy hoax and re-inventing it.
But let me tell you, it was much more effective 5 years ago when Drudge linked to it.
Oh Ford! GMTA.
