Scientists Already Know How to 'erase' Your Painful Memories... and Add New Ones
We all have things in our past that we'd like to forget - bad break-ups, traumatic experiences, loss. No matter how hard we try, these memories can continue to haunt us, occasionally triggering conditions such as anxiety, phobias, or post-traumatic stress disorder. But scientists are now on the verge of being able to change that for good, with the discovery that our memories aren't as permanent as we once thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this could be useful in many situations , then again it would be unethical. Lets say if someone was raped could we save them from terrible emotional issues if we just wipe it away? Or is the bodies flight or fight instinct tampered with to the point it does something to our natural ability to sense dangers. Or could it do something we haven't even thought of yet?
Or what if a soldier had scary moments in war what would it do if we just wiped it away.
What about a kid who had a scary moment in life for whatever reasons would it have an impact because it's a child over an adult...........
Hmmm I see this as being dangerous.
