So, I read this in a book last night, and I thought I'd post on it because it bugged me. I feel better when I can write about something I disagree with.
In the book, they caught a bad guy and erased his memory. They then had to give him memories of a new life so he'd think he was a completely different person. So, they give him a pretty miserable life. Now, as a bad guy, he probably deserved a bad life. But they just erased that old life. He's a different person now. There's no use in getting revenge on a person who doesn't have his old memories and doesn't know what he did wrong. Would you rather create a miserable life, or would you rather give that person a life that would actually be useful to the world? If I had the option of giving a bad guy a new life, I wouldn't make it miserable. I'd make him a nice person and I'd give him a role in life that would help the planet in some way.
So, if you ever get to erase someone's memory and give them new memories, keep that in mind, huh?
