Well, we didn't have people with powers like they have here, but my world does have aliens and space age technology, so that would be like having powers by human standards.

Although, since that's a 'our whole species has this' thing, there's no special moral or ethical obligation that comes with that. I mean, I guess there are some just because of what technology we have available to us. I think there might be some ethics someone might consider with wiping someone's memories, but I can't think of what?
