Past Present Future

So it seems that according to news sourses globally Canadian researchers have discovered the portion of the mind that contains our memories. And in fact have also a way to erase painful memories ?? How they sort the good from the bad is seriously doubtful as they have had a great amount of success with lab rats.Not being a rodent of person , (only character ) I find it somewhat disturbing that educated induividuals can actually claim with a straight face , yes we have tested this on lab rats and found that we have in fact made them happier??? Ummm did the "scientist" actually ask the rats if they were happier ??? Did the rats get up and dance or do a giggy for the "scientist"after having the "bad"memories removed ? Were the bad memories more then being tested in a lab with drugs and other poisins in order to see a reaction ?? and if so did the fact that these rats just lay there and not do anything be enough for the scientist to consider this a success?
After all our memories , painful or not are what makes us individual , the fact that no two people can share the identical experience is a known fact, so it rubbing out that experience makes us happier then why is there so much concern for trauma victems who experience temporal amniesia ??? Isn''t that considered to be a form of brain damage ?? And how is that a way to treat people with PTSD , isn't that by itsself enough for other not to want to mess with is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is caused by extreme forms of Stress and or Trauma , so lets just make that better we'll just do the humane version of smash you in the head with a big stick and knock out all those nasty memories and you'll be fine , here's your Timmy's now get out there and have fun ????WTF
Hello McFly , ???? ok firstly the ethical breech of this whole process , we as medically educated individuals have an obligation to do no harm , that is sorta that Hypocrytical oath , yeah swearing at someone can be hypocrytical sometimes but whatever , tampering with peoples fundemantal personaes was outlawed in the 50's for a reason , not only is it now illlegal but even then it was immoral , for whatever the freaked up reason of subjecting lab rats to high doses of electrical current can be midly entertaining for the most juvenille of minds , it can not and must not be allowed to flow into the mainstream of psyco-analytical diagnosis / treatment ,
Even the dumb as sticks voluteer who was most likely paid a great deal of money to go on public television and sputter I am afwaid of spidders , hewge haiwy spiders and I would like my mind melted to mush to it won't scawe me anymore , pfffffttt , not to sound too judgemental at all but buddy being a sperm burping , turd stuffing poofter is more of a deviation then being afraid of spiders, and I am sure that you wouldn't want to melt your mind for that , so there you go , but then moments later after eharing the whole truth he decides that he doesn't want to loose the whole big scarely being locked in a closet with his cousin , ( for obvious reasons) memory , just the scary spider reaction ?? hmmmmm can you say learn the difference between voluntary response and involuntary response and deal with butt plug , step away from the big hairy scary electrodes and sasha out of there , grrrrrrrrrr
But there you have it the modern ethical dilema of scientific discovery and its application to ?? human?? subjects
Would I voluntarily go and have my mind wiped clean , ummm nope not for all the cash in the whole freakin world , sorry , good bad of indifferent this is who I am and I am good with that ....
