If I were not in a relationship I would do it, wouldn't be a hard decision for me. But as it is it would not be only myself that it concerned.

Why would you do it?

[Shaun]

There are things in my life I would be happy to trade a few years of my life to be rid of. Is that not the same reason any of them did it?

I just thought that maybe you would think having that pain and bad experience is better has it would make you into the person you are today.

And I'm just thinking, wouldn't erasing that pain/grief make you do that mistake again since you don't know how badly it would turn out?

[Shaun]

Don't assume it is my mistakes I would like to erase.

They would get rid of the pain not the memories, so while that might change the way some people are I do not think it would most.

If you remember doing it but not the pain/grief/whatever that follows after doing that particular action, what stops that person from doing it again?

[Shaun]

Every circumstance is different Irene. As I stated in my above post it is not my mistakes, not my actions, not something I "did", that I would choose to erase. I have personal reasons that would mean I would agree to the arrangement. Some pain is difficult, even impossible, to live with. Regardless of any consequences. I doubt I am the only one, and the characters on the show had their reasons. November chose to have the pain of her childs death removed, that "action" isn't going to happen again is it?

Ah that's true. I keep forgetting that it's not only pain from actions we've done that can be erased but also pain from things that was done to us or happen to us...
