A hypothetical scenario on Earth where it is legal to own slaves, but they are humans who look and act like humans but their memories are completely erased

So what if in this world, it was legal to own slaves, but they were humans who looked and acted like humans but their memories were completely erased? How would society function? <br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>**The slaves:**<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>* How would they refer to themselves? (Caucasians, Africans, Asians, Slavs, etc. would all be potential options)<br>* They would have no concept of their past lives and the people they used to be, but how would their culture function? They would likely have a collective memory but nothing about their individual lives.<br>* Would they have a concept of family?<br>* Would they know their age?<br>* How would they be able to learn and grow if they have no memories? Would they just act like toddlers?<br>* Would they still be able to learn skills? Like a child learning to ride a bike?<br>* If a slave would be able to learn a language, would they be able to learn new ones?<br>* Would they still have their individual personalities?<br>* Would they be able to form meaningful connections with people?<br>* Would they know right from wrong?<br>* Would they be able to learn and grow?<br>* Would they be able to learn skills?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>**The slave owners:**<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>* Would they be able to treat them as pets?<br>* Would they be able to do experiments on them?<br>* Would they be able to abuse them without fear of consequences?<br>* Would they be able to sell them?<br>* Would they be able to have sex with them?<br>* Would they be able to use them as servants?<br>* Would they be able to use them for labor?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>**The law:**<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>* Would it be illegal to harm them?<br>* Would it be illegal to kill them?<br>* Would it be illegal to abuse them?<br>* Would it be illegal to sell them?<br>* Would it be illegal to use them for labor or as servants?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>**Society:**<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>* How would it function?<br>* Would it be similar to ancient greece/rome?<br>* Would it be similar to modern day America?<br>* Would it be similar to medieval europe?<br>* Would it be similar to modern day arabia?<br>* Would it be similar to ancient china?<br>* Would it be similar to modern day india?<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>This is all just hypothetical, but I think this would be an interesting scenario.
