Irrelevance

According to a study with MRI's by anthropologist Helen E. Fisher, Ph.D. at Rutger University, antidepressants may severely interfere with one's sense of love by driving down dopamine, the chemical associated with romantic feelings.

The research team has since been inundated with correspondence that confirms their findings. One man who had been enamored with his girlfriend for three years allegedly fell out of love after getting on Prozac. Once he stopped taking the medication, his love for her returned.

Ms. Turner had it right. What's love... but a secondhand emotion?
