Drug Deletes Fearful Memories (slashdot.org). I brought this drug up with friends of mine who have difficulty sleeping due to events in their past. There's sort of an implied question here: would you want to press the reset button if you could? That is: instead of just a drug to solve issues with certain memories, start fresh? Maybe write out a sheet of instructions, setup a new residence and put some money aside? Keep all your skills and capabilities but otherwise get a blank slate.
I have to think that our memories are part of who we are and that makes them to some extent sacred or important. However, many people suffer greatly due to trauma in a lack of sleep, flashbacks, and other issues. Its reasonable to think they could interfere enough that starting over again may be either desirable or -- in the case of severe damage -- necessary.
