Intelligence pills
Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to improve
their intelligence and intellectual performance. A research group has suggested that such drugs
might become as common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades.
To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drugs tests like athletes. There are
already drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to
children with problems concentrating. A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps
people remember numbers.

These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people already take vitamins to help them
remember things better, so it will not be a simple problem to solve. It will probably be very
difficult to decide at what point a food supplement becomes an unfair drug in an examination
