A New Type of Morning-After Pill
One that erases unwanted memories:
Suppose scientists could erase certain memories by tinkering with a single substance in the brain. Could make you forget a chronic fear, a traumatic loss, even a bad habit….. Researchers in Brooklyn have recently accomplished comparable feats, with a single dose of an experimental drug delivered to areas of the brain critical for holding specific types of memory, like emotional associations, spatial knowledge or motor skills.
Can it erase unwanted people?
I’m holding out for Robert Nozick’s dream machine. You climb in a vat, get plugged in and experience any kind of reality you like.
