    Middle aged men rejuvenated by steroids and growth hormone; Can I please have some?

    As the shitstorm swirls around yesterday's Boys of Summer, now the goats of Fall, may we not pause a moment in wonder at the miracles of chemistry?

    Just because teenage boys (already suffering from testosterone poisoning...) ought not bump their hormones artificially, does this mean that we should turn away from the prospect that men over 40 (Rocket, this means you...) might benefit from the same bump?

    And should free individuals not be permitted to choose for themselves what risks to incur for what benefits?

    Enhanced performance is a good thing.

    Put differently, if God had not intended us to consume steroids (smoke dope, lick toads...) it would not have invented them.

    Better living through chemistry!
