I watched the first episode of the second season of Dollhouse. In this show people essentially rent out their bodies to an organization that turns them into whatever they want, by erasing their memory and giving them new identities. It took me a little while to really figure out what was happening in the show but once I did, I found one issue in the show interesting. The character Echo is used as a sort of secret agent, she is given an identity and becomes the wife of a criminal, in order to bring the criminal down. This brought up the question, do the ends justify the means? Is it right to fool around with a human mind in order to take down a criminal? The pain that is caused by the people having their memories erased makes me believe that it is not a justified measure.
I did not really like this show when it boiled down to it. I think that the idea of erasing peoples mind and stripping them of their identity is hideous. I was bothered by the protagonists in the show taking part in the activity. I am not saying I support the man selling weapons, but I saw no right or justice in the show.
