I've been mulling over this one today and I think that I'm actually not for this. I think our memories, both good and bad, help us grow. Having the ability to access past experiences (even if they are negative) gives you that age old wisdom. The only thing I would want for people to have the option of being erased is something like sexual abuse as a child or even an adult. That just seems like a dark illness that can warp your perception of life. The Josef Fritzl case in Austria comes to mind here! @ Jessica F…haha Mr Potato Head!

I don't know if I necessarily agree with it. This reminds me of what happened in the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and just how double edged erasing your memory can be.
