Do you have a really bad memory, or past heartache, that you would prefer to forget?
Researchers at Harvard and McGill University (in Montreal) are working on an amnesia drug that blocks or deletes bad memories. The technique seems to allow psychiatrists to disrupt the biochemical pathways that allow a memory to be recalled.
Okay, this is NOT good.
It’s bad.
Let me spell this out, they want to develop a drug that will disrupt pathways in YOUR BRAIN that allow memories to be recalled.
How interesting, you can take a human brain and wipe it clean and replace it with what?
Happy thoughts?
Who will decided what goes and what stays?
You?
Hey, if you’re in such a bad way that you need to chemically shut down pathways in your brain to keep memories from surfacing I doubt if anyone is going to listen to a word you have to say, am I right?
I wonder- if you take away the things that made you the person you are now, what on earth will you become if you take any of that (even the bad things) away.
Once that stuff hits your brain you won’t be the same.
Now there’s a thought.
Irregular Bones 
something something spotless mind…they did a mvie on this..i think i had it in one of my random thoughts posts to, but i was only kidding
Reminds me of that movie Jim Carrey did- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
And it’s not only scary, it’s terrifying…
Have you noticed that all the options for ‘reparing’ damaged people involves surgery? That’s it’s painful? I thought that was a clue…you know that this ‘repair’ deal is not a good thing.
But my take on this could be wrong.
amm
ps…Hi Nanu! thanks for stopping by again.
and Criminy…I’ll be over for a visit soon.
If i need repaired i want it to be by someone who is undamaged.
and there is no such thing.
Besides, I like my bad memories…some of them are scary as hell. *L*
You know what I would be without mine?
A romance writer.
amm.
This is downright scary, right next to putting gps chips under the skin.
Thx 🙂 Haven’t had the chance to always write but I do visit…
This is acutally terrifying to me because it is NOT suregery, it’s pills! Just take a pill and bye bye part of your personality. And it’s only a step to make a pill to a suspention (liquid).
Recall Rufinol and how it was used? How about this being used after?
not a romance writer…i’d rather have my opposable thumbs removed thank you muchly
