Hi all;
I am "just" a lowly dental student here matching into oral surgery, but I have a sister in a neurosurgery residency.
The other night I was "fortunate" enough to have dinner with her and her fiance. He kept uttering all night about neuro-enhancement and neuropharmaceuticals.
Apparently he predicts within that within the next 10-20 years a new field of cosmetic Neurosurgery (and Neurology) will develop. Furthermore, he thinks that much like many of the dental procedures and cosmetic procedures, the market for such procedures will be cash based and highly lucrative. It makes sense that insurances will never cover the costs of such surgeries or drugs, but what is the likelihood that such enhancing psychosurgery ever hits the market?
Was he a few drinks over his limit, or was "Harvey Cushing Jr." on to something???
