Scenario 1:
You have an accident which causes you to become unable to create new memories.
You still remember everything up until the point when you had the accident.
You can no longer make new relationships with people because every time you meet someone, you don’t remember meeting them.
You have to resort to making a huge memory bank just to remember new places you’ve been to, new people you know, etc.
Scenario 2:
All of your memories are erased and you have to make new memories, relationships, etc.
Everything that you knew that makes you who you were are erased.
All of your previous friends, family, relationships, still remember you and try to show you that they knew you/related to them via pix, paternity tests, etc but you are unable to recall ever spending a second of your life with them.
Cliffs:
Would you rather have Anterograde amnesia and keep the memories that you have up until you had the accident or would you rather have all of your memories erased and start life over?
