[QUOTE=bravehat;25803023] ...or inject a compound into your blood that selectively reacts with the protein associated with the traumatic memories and then produces blood soluble by products that then get filtered out into your piss and shit. Where did you get the idea that they would need to inject directly into your brain? remember the brain is heavily supplied with blood and nutrients.[/QUOTE] The brain is protected by a barrier that stops it from being in contact with blood (appropriately called the blood brain barrier). Drugs have a lot of trouble getting through this barrier.
Damn I can think of at least ten things I want to erase from my mind...
Within the week, None of you will remember this thread! :tinfoil:
This could help people with phobias caused by traumas. And mind control by the government.

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;25791666]I just hope that this technology doesn't fall in the wrong hands. It probably will though.[/QUOTE] Classic super villain bullshit right here.
Frightening

Scariest to come, is when they figure out how to create fake memories. Then only the government can truly mind control us.
[QUOTE=Supacasey;25792021]Would a bit of modification erase awesome memories as well? I'd like to play the Legend of Zelda series all over again.[/QUOTE] I'd never have to buy movies again! Just find one movie I like, watch it, remove memory and repeat!

Drugs have a lot of trouble getting through this barrier.[/QUOTE] OH WOW It makes it difficult for compounds to pass through the barrier, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, every psychoactive substance passes through the blood brain barrier, that means THC, heroin, Cocaine, alcohol. Everything. And we could easily get something passed the barrier if it was designed to.
[QUOTE=wingless;25803593]Within the week, None of you will remember this thread! :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] What thread?
