Hume in the 21st Century

In class on Friday we discussed Hume and his dealings with emotions or 'passions and the will.' I was thinking if Hume were alive today, would his teachings be any different? With our medical advances in medicine we can basically engineer a mindset through chemicals. That means to a certain degree, we can alter peoples emotions. In this way, our emotions can be founded on ideas rather than impressions. This is the exact opposite of what Hume believed. Hume also stressed a "power of acting or not acting, according to the determinations of will." This principle I believed is amplified by today's society because business is stressed above all, and monetary gains are a huge facet of our society. In today's world, not only do individuals and military units decide whether to act or not, but huge corporations need to stay active to enjoy staying relevant in today's markets.
