- 4947: A Review of Huxley's Brave New World
- ... promiscuous sex, "the feelies", and most famously of all, a supposedly perfect pleasure-drug, soma. As perfect pleasure-drugs go, soma underwhelms. It's not really a utopian wonderdrug at all. It does makes you high. Yet it's more akin to a hangoverless tranquilliser or an opiate - or a psychic anaesthetising SSRI like Prozac - than a truly life-transforming elixir. Third-millennium neuropharmacology, by contrast, will deliver a vastly richer ... They are far more likely to induce the "infantile decorum" demanded of BNW utopians than euphoriants. The major tranquillisers, including the archetypal "chemical cosh" chlorpromazine (Largactil), subdue their victims by acting as dopamine antagonists. At high dosages, willpower is blunted, affect is flattened, and mood is typically depressed. The subject becomes sedated. Intellectual acuity is dulled. They are a popular tool in some penal systems. A m o r a l i t y Soma doesn't merely stupefy. At face value, the happiness it offers is amoral. Soma-fuelled highs aren't a function of the well-being of others.

Yet the drug is ...

- ... largely from laboratory studies in which large doses are fed to test animals, usually rats or mice, and field studies of wildlife species that have been exposed to the chemicals mentioned above.

(Newbold, 1995) In adolescence and early adulthood, a number of reproductive cancers can appear as well as an inability to become pregnant or high incidence of abnormal pregnancies.
