Memory Modification and Authenticity
Memory enhancement and modification (the creation of false memories, changing the emotional impact of memories) is possible today. Memory is also a key part of human narrative identity and modifications have potential to affect identity and the authenticity of life. This paper studies the ethical aspects of memory modification, exploring in what ways memory modification and enhancement constitutes a threat to authenticity and personal identity.
