Why would anyone even think of developing such a 'tool'?
You bet. We ARE next - after a bit more time perfecting it on some
rats and animals.

Brain implants force mice to make friends: Scientists trigger social
response in rodents by using a beam of light to activate neurons
Scientist have controlled the mind of mice to force them into socially interacting
This was done through a tiny brain implant that probed neurons with LED light
The team targeted a group of neurons involved with facilitating relationships
When zapping the region with light, the mice instantly socialized in real time
When the stimulate was desynchronized, the pair stopped interacting
