An article at Daily Mail online on February 17 revealed that doctors may have developed a pill that will "erase" bad memories. Rather than make any comments or state the concerns this may raise, I think I would encourage you to think on this one.
The article is in the Daily Mail online. If you choose to read the article online, I would caution you to be careful about the site if you are easily offended. The article's title is "Pill to erase bad memories: Ethical furor over drugs 'that threaten human identity'" The implication from the article is that they are working on a pill that will erase bad memories through a chemical process. For once, they do give two sides of the issue (ethical implications and potential benefits), but we need to look at it from a biblical perspective.
A few passages of Scripture that could help you see this issue from God's perspective.
Deuteronomy 4:10; 5:15; 7:18; 8:2 & 18
2 Corinthians 1: 3-7
Romans 8:28-30
1 Peter 5:12-19
James 1:12-15
Hebrews 11:32-40
Read the passages and consider whether or not it would be a good thing to "forget" our bad memories. Does God want us to forget those memories? Do we benefit if we forget "bad" memories? Are other people harmed if we forget our "bad" memories?
