The Neuroethics of Memory is a thematically integrated analysis and
discussion of neuroethical questions about memory capacity and
content, as well as interventions to alter it. These include: how
does memory function enable agency, and how does memory dysfunction
disable it? To what extent is identity based on our capacity to
accurately recall the past? Could a person who becomes aware during
surgery be harmed if they have no memory of the experience? How do
we weigh the benefits and risks of brain implants designed to
enhance, weaken or erase memory? Can a person be responsible for an
action if they do not recall it? Would a victim of an assault have
an obligation to retain a memory of this act, or the right to erase
it? This book uses a framework informed by neuroscience,
psychology, and philosophy combined with actual and hypothetical
cases to examine these and related questions.
