| Abstract | Sarah is preparing for the LSAT and has always had problems staying focused for extremely long tests. Her mother, who is also a lawyer suggests that Sarah talk to her family physician about getting a prescription for Provigil,a drug like Ritalin that is designed to help a person keep awake and focused. The doctor, who has known Sarah all her life and wants her to succeed in becoming a lawyer, gives her a prescription for the drug and on the practice test, Sarah scored significantly higher than she did formerly. Before she goes in for the actual test, she has a conversation with a friend who compares taking Provisil to athletes taking steroids, Should Sarah take the drug before the test? |
