No, I don't want to lose any memories. Like The Golden Eagle, what would I give up? I guess it would depend on the trauma for some people. <br /><br />I hope you have a good school year.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-68105688502458974192012-09-21T15:19:26.262-07:002012-09-21T15:19:26.262-07:00I just wonder how many memories you would have to ...I just wonder how many memories you would have to erase--if you took away an unpleasant memory, would the related ones about <i>all</i> the people involved also have to go? It seems like that could eliminate some of your personality if those individuals influenced the way you think.<br /><br />I really like your "What If?" posts. You raise really good questions.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-41271272194441506062012-09-20T19:33:06.726-07:002012-09-20T19:33:06.726-07:00It's an interesting thought - I mean, imagine ...It's an interesting thought - I mean, imagine if physicians could delete memories of people suffering from post-traumatic stress. And imagine a person's death being entirely forgotten because everyone's had their memories of it deleted?Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-60868076097389620952012-09-20T18:27:14.238-07:002012-09-20T18:27:14.238-07:00I assume you mean losing the bad memories would no...I assume you mean losing the bad memories would not change your personality as a whole, but it would still erase the negative associations with it, right? If that were true it might not be a bad idea. There's more than one memory I could stand to get rid of and I think as long as the overall facts remained, I'd be better off.<br /><br />And I love your Thursday what-if posts. You come up with the best questions.J E Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372746219262163566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-87099936701662006912012-09-20T14:41:13.694-07:002012-09-20T14:41:13.694-07:00I agree with Michael, mostly.

I think you could get away with deleting a few but more interestingly would be if you could get rid of say an unpleasant memory that caused you trauma, would you no longer be traumatized if the memory was gone?mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-31385029336485812242012-09-20T08:35:38.507-07:002012-09-20T08:35:38.507-07:00I think that losing memories will always change yo...I think that losing memories will always change you.
