If you could be given a drug that removes all pain, with no side effects, would you take it?

Leprosy reduces the pain sensitivity. But this causes other problems.

Me , Sincerely , No

Why?

Because The sensation we call pain today has evolved over millions of years and it is a great way that teaches humans what to touch and what to not touch , and things to do that are right , and things that aren't right like if a child went naughty his/her if they're careful with they're child then the parent will most likely Ground the child or Punish him , it can be Grounding which causes Losses which cause Physiological Pain , and Punishment will Make Physical Pain and in most cases will alert the child to not do it again . also if i was injured in someplace like in my back and i didn't see it then it could be a injury that will bleed and bleed and i wouldn't be alert of it until possibly i die . 

in conclusion

No

You will hurt yourself without pain, however funny that might sound. Living with pain is not good, but living without it is a real risk to your survival. The only reason we have pain is because it is a very useful and necessary mechanism. Pretty much any organism sufficiently complex to make pain possible knows it. That should tell you a lot. The judge is still out on creatures like crustaceans, but if they do not know pain like we do, they certainly have a replacement stimulus they try to avoid in roughly equal measure.

Yes, because this is a drug which means I can take this drug wheI'm feeling a lot of pain but ditch it when I need pain as a warning system to stop harming myself

Insensitivity to pain is actually a disorder that can cause you to self-harm yourself without any warning

How can you tell you need to ditch it? That is the whole point
