How does one synthetically produce love?

Even with the technological advances of today, we chase after the same remedies as we always have, the elixir of life, the fountain of youth, and the magical potion of love. In addition to the quest of extracting and managing emotions, we may include thinking about how we construct and cohabit with technology (be it AI, virtual avatars or robots) – or technology intimately integrated into our bodies. We may ask, how will technology be adapted to biochemical information and circuits affecting the sensory system, vagus nerve, biochemistry, genetic dispositions and epigenetic traumas? Entailing all that we carry with us, and that makes up our huge refined sensory organ, guiding our relations to the world, reminding us of wounds and trauma. Biochemicals’ constant transformations in the metabolic pathways affect our bodies and our minds in how we interpret and engage with ourselves and others. These are biochemicals that the medical industry has been able to replicate by the aid of technology. Will we still remember how to be human?
