It's this little thing called "common sense"

Memories are the single most complicated part of the human mind, they are a combination of chemical, physical, and elecrical signal intermixed in an incredibly complex and poorly understood fashion. In order to translate a memory from one person to another you have to copy over the specific neural pathways, determine the associated chemicals, and map the exact pattern of signal traveling along the related part of the brain. THEN you have to translate those signals into a form that can be properly interpreted by the other person, and revrse the process to implant them.

Then you get down to the presumed science behind aura; energy coming from a persons neural net, forcibly rewriting memories would DESTROY that net, effectively reprogramming their soul.
