Which memories would you rather have erased?

Scientist at the University of Georgia discovered particular proteins in mice that are controls the storage of memories in the brain. It's said that in near future a bill could be developed to help erase bad memories selectively in humans.

We all know however memory and remembering bad and good things that happen to us have evolutionary purpose. When we are young if we cut our fingers or burn them we avoid repeating them once we experience the harm. Mistakes we make in life often leave us with bad memories and although we tend to learn from them we sometimes rather have some of these bad memories erased all together.
