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.
