This is an edited version of the BBC documentary 'Man without a memory' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNDRDJy-vo). It shows the essence of Clive's disability (and it's pretty sad to watch too!).
Post-view question to ponder: do you think Clive is happy?

  • I simple love how much he adores and loves his wife. That's so wonderful to me.

  • He has the memory of a goldfish: swim swim swim, oh a bridge! Wheeeeeee - swim swim swim, oh a bridge! Wheeeeee ...

  • Is the man presenting this by any chance Michio Kaku?

  • He could literally play chess with himself and enjoy it, theres one good thing?

  • He has a short term memory but can't create long term memories. Very sad... Yes he had viral encephalitis that damaged his hippocampus, the brain area involved in LTM formation.

  • I heard he had a rare virus that attacked and destroyed part of his brain.

  • But how did he lose his memory yet alone this completely???

  • He must be thinking the film crew are perverts
