I don't like this kind of nonsense arrogance: "In a period when eugenic theories still circulated, Molaison’s doctors reportedly told him that he shouldn’t have sex, since he would likely reproduce children who were similarly damaged." We're still in that period and it's probably a good thing. In America you can still go to prison for having sex when there's a high risk of passing on genetic problems to your possible children, specifically by both partners being close relatives.
