i'm with you on this one
if perfume companies actually harnessed the power of pheromones it would be scientific news and it wouldn't just be a rumor and some ads. they work subliminally and they yeild incredible power, which is why there is such an ethical debate around their use.
if people were to harness the power of pheromones they could use them in warfare (certain pheromones can make animals very aggressive) as well as for sex. and the sex brings up an ethical issue because it would be like drugging someone to sleep with them really. anyways, that's what my crazy teacher taught us in our senses class. sorry for the rant. i just thought it was funny that this crazy powerful thing was thought to be used in a $3 can of deoderant spray.
