Soon, we will all be given a drug which will resets our brain to the moment of conception. Those they wish to keep will be nurtured, the rest will die of dehydration or starvation.

Gott mit Uns.

3. Don't laugh
A drug which erases long-term memory has already been tested in mice.

Want to volunteer for human trials?

It won't hurt a bit.

4. You can't erase long-term memory.
You might be able to block it, but the human brain doesn't really allow for erasure.

Scientists erase rat's memory
August 24, 2006 2:57 PM PDT

Scientists at MIT have managed to erase the long-term memories of rats, in a first-ever experiment that could lead to medical treatments for humans, according to a report from the New Scientist.

In the experiment, neuroscientists from MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory targeted the hippocampus, an area of the brain that's key to forming and maintaining memory. They manipulated synapses in the rat's hippocampus in order to erase long-term memories, and study how the rat learns, without affecting the animal's short-term memory, according to the story.

The findings could lead to methods for augmenting memory in patients with brain-debilitating diseases like Alzheimer's, according to New Scientist. The research was reported in this week's issue of the journal Science.
