Spotless minds possible?


The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind may have some basis in fact developing. IT seems that there are mechanisms by which selective memory loss could be achieved -the question is whether the toxicity of drugs could be overcome.

As always the reason for doing this would start off as therapeutic [eg helping people exposed to trauma] but then a mosre 'cosmetic' purpose is made possible. I could see some very intersting scenarios -and most of them I can think of films that have explored them. Funny how film seems to becoming our culture's medium of corporate reflection ....
