	Having gone down that road myself (not yet finished), let me assure you
a doctorate is more or less neutral. I, for one, have always objected to
their having a title. But that's because I'm against virtually all
honorifics... Some people will do good things with a PhD, and I hope
your brother is one of them. And obviously, for some, getting a
doctorate will prevent them from doing great things.

	As I recently started to tell people: There are no noble professions
(e.g. as people like to think regarding doctors). There are only noble
professionals.
