What I want to know, is did the Federation volunteer to give this antidote
to the Elasians?  After all, according to the green skinned ambassador, the
men of that planet had been searching for an antidote for years.

Of course, if they did, it would probably terribly disrupt that planet's
social system!  There are other questions one might ask.  E.g., what was
the shelf life of the tears?  Could an Elasian woman just cry some tears,
put them in a bottle, and then sprinkle them on some unsuspecting, or even
unwilling, male?  And so on...
