There is a really great episode of Voyager—I don't know if you were ever into that show—that deals with a nonconsensual memory wipe "for their own good" and subverts it, recognizing that it was wrong and needed to be undone. When I first heard of that aspect of Donna's storyline (and I don't watch Doctor Who, so I only heard it out of context) my thought was "this sounds like Latent Image if the conclusion was that altering people's memories against their will is Fine, Actually" and I could only imagine how horrified I would be if that happened on a show I was watching.
