Tara's eyes are shadowed as she greets the class, tension permeating her body.

"I'm sure you've all heard the announcement by now. Angelus has been accused of killing Kitty Pryde - which leaves us short one TA, but up an interesting Ethical question.

"Today we're going to discuss punishment for crimes done."

"Isn't personality alteration done against someone's will taking away their free will? Counseling's one thing. A unwanted memory wipe is entirely different."

"I have to admit, I hate agreeing with Bel, but I do. They can't learn if they can't remember; and while hypnosis should help someone cope with urges to smoke, or eat, or maybe lose their temper, the extreme stuff is entirely too open to abuse."

Belthazor turned toward Parker, looking a little surprised she agreed with him. "Yeah," he said, nodding. "And who gets to play god? Who decides what you wipe away and what stays? It's one thing to change yourself. It's another to have someone force it on you."

Parker shudders. "I can think of people who should *not* be allowed to make that call. As long as you can remember yourself, there's hope." She looks grim. "Even if you can't do anything else, you should get to keep that."
