ok my opinion on this is im against the memory drug. Some people say that its a good thing cause people whom have horrible memories like rape victoms and stuff should be allowed to erase those memorys. But think about all of this ok, they say its completely containted but thats BS and you all know it, i give a year before they have knockoffs all over the streets then think what could happen, think back to that rape victom what if a rapist gets his hands on those drugs he could rape someone then force the pill on them and then he walks clean. And also i think that the drug is bad because tragic things that happen to them sometimes define who they are, shapes there personality for the rest of their life. And whos to say this drug could perfectly pinpoint one perticular memory. They say the drug pinpoints a particular time, but think about it what if its not exact lets say someone had something happen to them tragic and then lets say that their brother or sister died in the same time frame what if the drug took away both memories!?!?!?! Also what if this drug has affects that only affect certain people like an alergic reaction but instead of swelling up or getting sick, the drug completely kills your brain, or gets rid of all of your memories i think something this major is to much of a risk and should be forgotten.

Erasing your memory would erase everything... like everything. It's a terrible idea. If one makes a bad decision in life, they have to find something good that they can do to get that bad thing off their soldiers. No one is perfect, and the people that think a pill can solve it are ironic. And plus lets look at the side effects, we barely know all about the brain and we wouldn't know where the pill would end up in the brain, it could paralyze, erase your mathematical processing, etc. The brain is a complex organ, and we hardly know a page about it. Let's get real people, if only if only there was a pill that could cure everything. You would be gorgeous, you would change your emotions, you would become wealthy! Ya, pills can't do that. Those who make a bad decision go to counseling of some sort and need extra help and support than normal people would for doing a slightly bad thing. There's not a cure for everything, and curing emotions and messing with the brain isn't one of them. Heck usually there's a surgery for something like that that comes up before a product (like first there was Plastic Surgeons now you can buy Loreal stuff that gives you a home face lift). And would it really be worth it? Taking risks, it could destroy your whole entire brain. The idea is even stupid. Everyone has to learn there's not a cure for everything, and there probably won't be, especially emotions. We would all be Zombies! We would all think alike, look alike, etc. The world wouldn't be diverse. I think the pill is a failure and doubt something could exist.

The Memory Erasing Drug, like everything else, has its pros and cons. Unfortunately, as it has more of the latter, I don't approve of it. We human beings have memories for a reason. Those memories we store up in our brain helps us become the person we are today. We use those memories not to hit ourselves over the head and brood over the mistakes we made in the past but to fix them and make sure they never happen again.

The article I read said that these pills hit certain memories and leave the rest intact. It's also still in the middle of being processed.

How can a drug target certain areas of the brain? We only know so much about it, an estimated 9%. Where are you reading this from? If you triggered the section of the brain that stores memory, a drug couldn't identify which cells hold the memory you are trying to erase. The only thing it could do would be monitoring chemical releases, which wouldn't to much and probably kill you. You learn from experience, lol way of life.

Like I said, scientists are still in the middle of researching/processing the drug. If the research ends up to be too dangerous on humans, they'll drop the project. Apparently, as far as the article was concerned, the scientists are still conducting research, which means at the current stage it is not dangerous.

Horriable idea in my oppinion.
I think that if you erase all memories, how will you learn from the bad things that have happend.
If you were raped or something, and memorise are erased, that could make you feel better by forgetting about it, but then you wouldn't learn from that, and you might fall for the same thing again.

That sound like the worst idea ever. Imagine if someone in your family or one of your friends took it? It would be horrible. I would have to kill myself if that happened.

Don't experiences (eventually memories) make a person who they are? What would happen if we just erased all the painful memories.. you know the ones that make us stronger, or remind us of our moral values..

What happens if a remorseful murderer erases the memory of killing someone.. does he/she kill again?

I think it's completely idiotic, your memories and experiences make you who you are, why try to get rid of them and ..... what were we talking about again?
