When Leo claims that medicating three-year-olds is just a harbinger of things to come what does he mean by this?
a. in the future, we will produce more medications that can have the same kind of revolutionary and positive effects that Ritalin has had on youngsters in the early part of the 21st century.
b. in the past, we have not had drugs such as this available, but children and parents were self-medicating with other drugs that had similar effects.
c. since we have already embraced the idea of chemically altering the minds of very young children, in the future we will think nothing of experimenting on youngsters in ways that we can not even imagine today.
d. the use of Ritalin on young children is so ethically questionable that we will probably see this practice disappear in the not too distant future.
