The Ethics of Erasing Memories ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Style
Date
Feb 16, 2012, 6:00 PM-7:30 PM
Location
Columbia University Morningside Campus, 963 Schermerhorn
Speakers:
Matthew Liao, Ph.D., Center for Bioethics, New York University
What power does a memory have? If you could chemically alter them, would you? Should you? These are the questions posed by biochemists today and addressed by Dr. S. Matthew Liao in his lecture. Combining scientific experiments with philosophical modes of thought, Dr. Liao discussed not just the physical possibility of memory alteration but the ethics behind adding and erasing memories and who would get to decide what was erased or added were it possible.
