Actually, I can tell you an easy way: you don't. Just round up
enough healthy young people who fit your profile, and download your
preferred neural pattern over the one they already have. Make it a
sentencing option for some crimes, like homicide, drug
trafficking...or drunk driving, depends on how large an army you want
to "recruit"...and you're ready.
I didn't say it was a _nice_ way--just easy.
