Medical science is getting to creepy. I suffered from PTSD when I was a teenager. As bad as the memory is, I don't think that I would want to lose it. Yes, it hurt some of my relationships, made me untrusting for a while, and gave me a phobia of libraries, but as StanT said it makes me who I am today.
I can see this going the wrong direction. I think that people need to learn to cope with problems and not rely on a 'memory erasing' pill.
In answer to your question: No, I would not take it if I was involved in a tragedy like 9/11 or bus bombings. I think that the pain is part of recovery. Also, what if the memory stayed in the subconscious memory. A person may be suffering and have no idea why. I would rather keep my head clear and know why I feel the way I do.
