Babygirl this is why Chromedome trying to ise mnemosurgery for good is so interesting
Because
On one hand, on paper i can come up with many ways mnemosurgery can be used to benefit a patient and it's only a touch wholesome that Chromedome thinks this is a good idea
On the other hand, in practice mnemosurgery was invented not only susceptible to be abused but to keep a strict status quo. It's not only so easy to be highly destructive to the patient, but addictive to the mnemosurgeons. I find it invasive, terrifying, and it has so many implications for privacy and sense of self. Plus, as we're demonstrating now, the "good ways" mnemosurgery can be used hinge so much on the moral compass of the one(s) performing it.
The road to hell is often paved with good intentions, after all. What one mech thinks is an ethical and morally good deed is bone chilling and the highest order of horror to another.
