*nods* - I know a number of people who feel incredibly uncomfortable about the scene, and I've heard the term 'alien rohypnol' used more than once.
Personally? I'm with the folks who say it's unethical but far from the worst we see... I also wonder if part of the incredible intensity of Owen's reaction to the Ghost machine in episode 3 of s1 is due to a need for absolution after some kind of sudden realisation that yeah, that what he did with the spray wasn't *really* that different in terms of intent to what Ed Morgan did.
