would you go through with the procedure?

No thanks-I am what I was.

Plus that the others said about unforseen consequences, not sure the brain works as neatly as you would think.

No. I don't believe we know our brain's functions well enough yet. I have already lost most of my memory from birth to autumn 2008 and I would rather keep what I have left no matter how awful those memories are.

Exactly. I've been writing down my memoirs for my kids to read when I'm gone, and I'm amazed at how much I do remember. I've been remembering, and writing down, everything, including the very worst. I want to keep those memories, not lose them.

You know, when i was reading this thread, I came to think of
Osmium Steele's thread my daughter

I do not have kids of my own, but should I lose one of them. I would not have my memories of that child erased.
