As we understand deeper and deeper about how the brain works ,the new scientific research shows that we can have the access to take control our emotions today by using chemicals methods ,although people are cautious about using chemicals to work on their mind.but when it comes to the issue of live and death.such chemical research,may be of great help to save ones lives .so , how should we handle such dilemma in bioethics perspective,whether it is antidote? or poison?

mostly,we see love as a feeling that is hard to describe or to tell,so we do not usually define them in a scientific way,but it is definable in neurobiological way,love,has the same basis as an addiction,experiment proved that people who suffered from love sick have a low level of serotonin in their blood,which is a natural mood regulator that we can generate in our body,and it is exactly what happens in the brain of an obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. every normal human being cannot avoid it as it the an evolutionary result as it driven and helped with human reproduction.but still ,the definition of love is too wide.we see love as three segments .they are desire,fascination toward someone and incapability to detach.
