A pill to forget?

Do you have a particular part of your memories that you want to forget about? Do you want to have a "delete" button to your brain so that you can select what you want to forget?


In the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet decided to undergo a process to have their memories of each other erased. In reality, it's much simpler, we can do it by just one pill.

Scientists have found that a drug called propranolol, a medication commonly used for high blood pressure can be used to erase/weaker horrible memories and retain the good ones.

If I have one of those pills.. would I take it?
