Memories, who needs em?

[swestrup]

In a very controversial experiment, biochemists have been testing a drug that is designed to help fight Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome by reducing the emotional imprint of recent traumatic experiences. While I can see many very good psychological uses for such a thing, I can also imagine people really messing themselves up if such a drug was ever widely available. Still, I can only imagine that widespread access to this, and far more powerful, neural tinkering tools are inevitable, as the cost of automatic drug synthesis machiens continues to fall.
