The Memory Pill

Anybody hear about this yet? It's a drug that can supposedly isolate and eliminate bad memories from your mind. This is fascinating to me.

I can't say I would ever be interested though. A mind-erasing drug scares me a little too much. Plus, everything I've been through in my life has made me who I am today. I don't think I would ever want to eliminate any of my memories, even the really bad ones.

What do you guys think??

This might be the dummbest thing I've ever heard of.

Is this supposed to be a joke? That's the only way I buy this story even being on the 'net.

IDK, there's a few things I'd like to forget...

[Splattercat]

Way too easy to abuse...If it does exist, it really shouldn't...

For starters, we forget way too much already...Doign it intentionally is simply a recipe for disaster...And the one person who posted on there made a good point...Memories tie in with regret...Suddenly you can make any tragic mistake you like, and simply forget it ever happened..? I don't think so...

Haven't they seen Total Recall. Man...this is a horrible idea, never mess with the mind.

Its interesting but will it be 100% right . What if a good memory was emliminated , can you get it back ? . Or you were left with just bad memories .

[gatekeeper]

Maybe it can erase all my memories of watching TNA. ;D

I had to take that one. Sorry.

[blueraider2]

cute payback .

I heard about it and we discussed it here at work...

My thought is that the things that happened to me as a kid made me who I was today... good, bad, or ugly.
