Would you prefer to lose all the memories you have now or never be able to make any new memories?
Choosing neither is obvious. But let's say one it's being forced upon you, which would you choose?

My mother-in-law can’t remember what she just ate for lunch, but can remember her children and things from her past. This is far more common....and, to some extent, expected. Losing all of your past memory is the subject of a couple of sci-fi shows/movies, but in real life tends to be a sign of advanced cognitive disease.
As someone who has lived most of my expected life span and experienced memories of those who were very close to me and are now deceased, I’d prefer to not be able to make new memories than to lose all existing ones....as my existing memories are precious to me.
