Memory Modulation Blog
Consider the following questions in your responses: Are the therapeutic benefits of erasing traumatic events from our memories more important than the possibility of losing a true sense of ourselves?
Do we define ourselves as the sum of all our experience, both good and bad? What if it were only the good experiences that defined ourselves?
Where would you draw the line on memory erasure? (or what defines a "traumatic event" that would warrant this type of treatment?)
