Love Potion

Have you ever had a relationship that started strong and you loved but as time went on it dies out. Have you ever just wanted to do something to make the relationship used to be, like making a love potion.  Well there might be such a thing.
According to Larry Young, an expert in the neuroscience of social bonding at Emory University in Atlanta brain chemistry of love has revealed two hormones is crucial in forming close bond with another person. These two hormones are called oxytocin and vasopressin, and can possibly reignite the love passion emotion that a couple once had. Tests have been conducted on sheep showing that this theory and love posh in works.
In Love Potion Could Soon Help Soothe the Pains of Romance is about a future possibility of a love potion. In this article it talks about two hormones that are essential part of a good relationship.  It also talks about the research that people have done in order to prove it is possible. It also explains how oxytocin and vasopressin plays a role in relationships and how having more may improve a relationship.
I personally think that the love potion idea is something that can ruin our world. I think that in the future the love potion will become a drug that manipulates our society to do things. Such as people slipping it into your drink so that you think you think you are in love and because of that thought you do things you would originally not do. If the love potion is distributed publicly then everyone’s hormones would be on the fritz causing a huge increase in population. I do agree that oxytocin and vasopressin hormones are something that makes people want each other but I do not believe that it is what makes true love. I believe that true love is when you find someone you never get bored with and you even love that person when you fight. With that I believe that having a love potion is a lame excuse of saying I think I love my partner but I want to love my partner.
