Is it ethical to use psychedelics to enhance something as profound as love?
A new study by Imperial College London has uncovered that psychedelics can significantly improve communication and deepen intimacy between partners. Other studies spotlight MDMA's promising role in couples therapy, hinting at a future where these substances could change the way we enrich our relationships.
This presents us with both remarkable possibilities and complex ethical dilemmas. Now, more than ever, we must carefully explore the implications of integrating these powerful substances within the context of love and connection.
Join us for an online panel discussion with world-leading experts, Brian Earp, PhD, bioethicist from Oxford University and author of "Love Drugs", and Sarah Tilley, a pioneer in psychedelic-assisted therapy for couples, with moderation by Tommaso Barba, PhD candidate at Imperial College London known for his groundbreaking research on psychedelics and sexual functioning.
They will explore crucial questions such as:
• What could the future of romantic enhancement through pharmaceuticals look like?
• What are the potential outcomes of these interventions, considering that a peaceful divorce • could be as valuable as maintaining the relationship?
•Where should we draw the ethical boundaries?
• How do societal and cultural views influence the acceptance and use of these substances in a romantic context?
This event promises a deep exploration into the benefits and ethical considerations of using 'love drugs' in therapeutic settings and beyond, offering insights into how these practices might evolve in the future.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear from leading experts and contribute to a critical conversation on the future of relationships, love and psychedelics.
