I think that if we erase our memories we would not be the people we are today, or maybe better or worse, anything can happen, but we could not change so much if deep down we keep our own nature.... what would happen would be many gaps without explanation and I do not want to live like that.
I keep what I have lived and what I have experienced until today, even if it has been hard and complex.
oh wow even if you were tortured or abused for 10 years? or the last 10 years of memories were just horrible that you can't sleep and have nightmares everyday or maybe traumatized for life or couldn't work or socialize properly again. You won't consider taking the drug? I think it really depends on the extent of the damage in the last 10 years. For most people, we will probably won't need to forget but I think there will be some that want to just wipe it all out because it's just so bad but I don't know it'd be like a small percentage of people I guess.
