A drug which appears to erase painful memories has been developed by scientists.
As if the world wasn't scary enough?
A lecturer in medical ethics at St George's, University of London, said: 'Removing bad memories is not like removing a wart or a mole. It will change our personal identity since who we are is linked to our memories.
'It may perhaps be beneficial in some cases, but before eradicating memories, we must reflect on the knock-on effects that this will have on individuals, society and our sense of humanity.'
But British experts warned the drug raises some difficult questions.
Professor John Harris, an expert in biological ethics at the University of Manchester, said: 'It is obviously up to the individual whether or not she wishes to risk the possible effects, including psychological discontinuity, of erasing unpleasant memories.
Would it work on erasing the memories of the last 10 yrs?
No doubt some Labour low life politician is planning to put this in the water supply before the next general election, so that we all happily vote for them...again.
No more mind altering drugs, we have more than enough in society already, doing untold damage.
