What's the difference between "stopping a criminal" using force 
and "inducing romantic feelings" in the person I've promised to
remain monogamous with by using a potion?  Both serve my better 
interests. Both are without consent to the "victim".  The only 
difference I see is that the former keeps me alive and healthy while 
the other keeps me healthy and feeling alive.
