I want to invent the machine which erase bitter memories of the past partially. I was inspired by the movie "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind".
To summarize this movie, the hero of this movie couldn't forget his ex-girl friend and felt so depressed. He didn't want to live without her, but he couldn't do anything to restore their relation. They already broke up. Therefore, he decided to erase his memoriy about her to get back to his daily life. In the movie, there was a mysterious hospital specializing in the nervous system and the brain. He brought all goods which are related to her to the doctor. The machine in the hospital helped him to forget his ex-girl friend.
There are many people who feel sad, because of the same reason as the hero of "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind". Also, people break their hearts from many kinds of bitter memories. Memories make people to have severe depression and become suicidal. Memories about crimes, natural disasters, nuclear attack, wars, and death could be examples of bitter memories. This machine could be used as the last resort of anti-depressants, however, I wonder that vicious people could use it for political, commetcial, and criminal purposes. It must be used on a physician's prescription, and used for purpose of treatment for severe depressions.
For me, I don't know whether erasing memories is good or not,

Yes, I agree with Linda. Even if I had a chance to erase my bad memories I wouldn't get the chance. It may be because I don't have many bitter ones? But the topic of that movie was nice.
답글삭제Hmm... I think your concern about it being used for bad things is very scary. Even if it requires a doctor's prescription, it could still be used in the wrong way, and that could have terrible consequences. In addition, I believe our experiences make us who we are - and not just the good ones. So while I think your idea is interesting, I'm not sure who should control it.
