What are the possibilities here! If a drug can cure fear, does that mean there’s a world in the near future where fear of anything will cease to exist? Are there any problems associated with this drug? I’d be curious to see if this will play a role in your literature review. Are you going to see what other researchers are saying about this fear drug? OR maybe you’re interested in comparing this drug to anti-anxiety medications– after all, anxiety is a type of fear, is it not?
Thanks!
