Clockwork Heart

Describe a world where emotions are regulated by clockwork devices implanted at birth.

Steampunk brings together the mechanical and the organic in fascinating ways, sometimes blurring the boundaries between life and machinery. Your task is to conceptualize a society where every emotion humans feel is controlled by a machine embedded in them. What ethical and moral questions would arise in such a setting? How would the society function? What conflicts might occur? This prompt provokes creative and ethical contemplation in addition to setting the stage for a compelling narrative.
