God won't do it and maybe we can but should we?

Suppose there was a drug that would cause us all to want to help each other. (We would get spectacular sensations of happiness when we helped someone.) Would our actions under the influence of that drug be considered moral actions? Or does morality require reason and free will?```````````````

    Humans are already overwhelmingly altruistic.

    If you don't think they are, you should stop watching Fox News, and buy a round-the-world plane ticket.

    God doesn't want us to use drugs...

    "Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason. 2 And stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:1,2. Bible).

    "to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason"...
