Kind of remind me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Anyway I will only ever agreed to the procedure if it was fully legit as in everything from entering and seeing upon my mind is private and confidential. You know like what doctor, therapist bank workers and etc are agreed to sign on.
Also I would only agreed for them to only remove one or two fo my flaws only, not all of them since I would be a competely different person (to the point I won't recognises myself) for them to rid all of my flaws. Beside humans are suppose to be perfect either.

There, you may have a point. It is possible that this renders no change to me, but I wouldn't call the science of it mapped out perfectly. (Sorry about the misspell, BTW. Happens sometimes.) Suffice it to say, my reaction come honestly enough. I'm fairly paranoid about things, and so the insinuated messing with one's head leads to a defensive posture. The badging probably comes from the cynicism. As I see a world of mistakes and a litany of "Why do people DO this?", I do feel higher, simply because I would never in my right mind do things like grub of untold billions of dollars by screwing everyone else and the economy at large. I could go on for a good clip over what I don't approve of. The virtue I entertain on this board is that I stop early unless I really want to get it out. Some things, though, have gotta pass. Sorry if that offends.A Satanic Panda said:
I wouldn't get the procedure done on myself but I do quite like the thought of, if I were one of these therapists, going inside some guy (or gal's) mind and start yanking on wires and just generally tearing out bits of their psyche.
I'd rather take a procedure which makes me even more batshit crazy, walking down the path of self-annihilation.
Not a chance. My thoughts are my own - I think that knowing someone else knew every thought, secret, shameful action I've had/done would drive me insane anyway, so it would undo all the 'good' work.
I have plenty of neuroses but nothing particularly serious so I feel they're just part of me rather than something I'd like to change. In fact, getting over some of my problems through many years and more than a few embarrassing experiences has made me happy in a way that a 'procedure' couldn't. However, I know plenty of people who are close to me whose mental problems are debilitating enough that they would take this in a heartbeat, and I wouldn't judge them for it.

Well I know you said not to nitpick but there's a really big gaping whole in the specifics. If they aren't bound by confidentiality, then essentially they are going to tell the whole world, aren't they? So the real question is, do I want all my issues gone, but for everyone in the world to know everything i've done/thought? To which the answer is obviously no.
If it was just the therapist who would know, then the answer would be yes.
