In October of 2000 the Pennsylvania State University released a report documenting the findings of a study that was done for the Marine Corps involving non-lethal, mind-altering drugs for use in warfare and civil situations. The report included drugs such as valium, SSRIs, opiates, ecstasy, and Ketamine to name a few, and it discussed delivery methods and potential situations that the drugs could be used in. The full report is available here: The Advantages and Limitations of Calmatives for Use as a Non-Lethal Technique

There is also a critical evaluation of the report here: Pentagon Program Promotes Psychopharmacological Warfare

The initial report, and it states as much, does not cover the question of ethics. That is what I want to discuss in this thread. Is psychopharmacological warfare ethical? In what instances should and shouldn't it be used?
