So did I, in canon, I imagined unicorn-blood-drinking to be somewhat like horcrux, ripping you of the ability to love, feel empathy, … and that’s what Dumbledore and others consider “half life”. It’s an hypothesis that is worth probing before just saying “oh let’s farm unicorns”.
Makes you wonder if anyone has ever tried to research magics that restored someone’s empathy etc., or gave it to people born without. Somehow, I doubt it.
It’s likely observation bias, but the whole of the wizarding society seems to lack empathy; I join you in doubting that much research on the subject has been done.
