Boing Boing is running an article discussing the ethics of brain enhancing drugs. Hard to deny the attraction of increased mental performance. The following quote from the article is particularly interesting:

Debate around brain enhancement drugs: “One person who posted anonymously on the Chronicle of Higher Education Web site said that a daily regimen of three 20-milligram doses of Adderall transformed his career: ‘I’m not talking about being able to work longer hours without sleep (although that helps),’ the posting said. ‘I’m talking about being able to take on twice the responsibility, work twice as fast, write more effectively, manage better, be more attentive, devise better and more creative strategies.’”
