Memory pill

Scientists are developing a new drug that helps improve memory manipulating adrenaline. Apparently people seem to remember events more when they are under any kind of stress that triggers an andrenal reaction (fear, anger, pain, etc).

Well not only have the egg heads have figured out how to increase that adrenaline/memory link, they also claim to block memories as well by decreasing the adrenaline response.

Example; if someone had a really traumatic experience and are constantly haunted by memories of said event, all they would have to do is pop a few of these pills and soon that memory is rendered far less potent or eliminated altogether. Of course there is a certain time frame you have to take this drug before the memories become permanent.

This could possibly be a valuable tool in dealing with people who suffer from Alzheimer's or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), but of course some argue this is the first step to mind control while others fear it would be abused to treat mild crap like an embarassing day, a bad break up or whatever.

Personally I don't like the idea of someone messing with my noggin, but I find it fascinating all the same and it might make a great investment opportunity.



Now if I could only remember the name of the drug...



damn you, irony.
