Sorry about your bad back, anon! You have my well wishes! I love how anti-kin just can’t bear the fact that a lot of us…

Does not the research about how memories can be falsely implanted and people can be easily convinced of things they didn’t do, invalidate kin “memories”?

Not particularly. If I wanted to get all woo-woo about it, I could say that we have no way of knowing if all ‘falsely implanted’ memories…
