The Memory Wipe

You have experienced a deeply traumatic event that has left you with severe PTSD. A new medical procedure is available that can precisely target and erase the specific memory of that event. It is guaranteed to alleviate your suffering. However, psychologists argue that our experiences, both good and bad, make us who we are. Erasing a significant memory, even a painful one, could fundamentally alter your identity in unpredictable ways. The pain would be gone, but so would a part of your life story.
