Thread: You could be Phineas Gage, minus the massive brain injury

Tempting, but I don't like the prospect of becoming totally willing to hurt or get over on people I care about. Of course I wouldn't care about that once I had no guilt, shame, or sympathy, but since I currently do have those things, I wouldn't willingly turn myself into someone who doesn't and might therefore freely screw his loved ones, friends, and so forth.

If I had some prior guarantee--in which I could be confident--that I'd only use my abilities to scam on strangers, I might consider it a bit more seriously.

I voted "no" because if you couldn't feel guilt, you couldn't feel love, hate or hope either. If you can't feel love (or hope for love) then there isn't really anything to live for.
