There are too many movies and works of science fiction that explore this landscape to convince me this is good.
To erase our memories, our fear, and our pain is to erase what makes us human. Yes, there are terrible things that happen to people that we want to be able to help. This is our humanity.
But where do we draw the line? What happens when this technology falls into the wrong hands? I don't like it.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoI was actually just thinking of a movie plot. A serial killer tortures his victims, then erases their memory of the experience. From their point of view, they came home, then woke up in bed missing their legs, or covered in horrendous scars, or something. But so far, that's all it is. Any new scientific breakthrough is terrifying. I think I'm more scared of biological research than I am of this.
