The psychological issues presented in the series are not embellished and often times it seems their affects on the characters are downplayed. When we discuss Dr. Leonard Church directly his personal issues and actions are severely believable under the given circumstances. There is never an alarm bell pointing out the issues Dr. Church is experiencing nor was much discussed as far as his violations in testing personality ethically. The idea of artificial intelligence to the degree described in the series is not particularly believable; however, it does not seem out of the realm of possibility.
First one should look at Dr. Church’s own psyche and how well it relates to the reality of someone suffering from such disorders. Dr. Church’s apparent depression hardly deviates from a person diagnosed as clinically depressed. He hardly discusses his own issues and instead deflects any questions directly related to him. In his depression he, like so many, find a way to cope with the disorder rather than attack the underlying reasons for his current state. This can be seen in his over dedication to his work in research. It appears that the only reason he allows himself existence for is to work, this is relatively similar to anyone suffering from clinical depression that holds onto one thing to keep them going. The danger, that is very evident in Dr. Church’s case, is his drive rooted in his issues causes him to put the blinders up and disregard the sanctity of another person’s life and mind. This is how many can act when they no longer care about themselves, if one fails to take care of themselves it is near impossible to properly care for those one may come into contact with.
Just as Dr. Church violated several ethical considerations when it comes to psychological testing it again raises the question of how far is too far. Though not entirely accurate, the AI personality was put under so much stress that it began to dissociate from itself creating multiple identities and repressed memories. The question that ultimately comes from unethical testing as such is how far is too far in times of war? Do the benefits of one particular experiment at the expense of a life outweigh its negative background? The two questions are very important and will continually be debated in the world of psychology. If we reference Milgram’s experiment we gained a lot of knowledge on the psyche of the individual, but at the same time subjects in the experiment had personal psychological damage done.
It will always be important to address ethical considerations when it comes to psychology because the mind can be more damaged than any physical body part can be. The issues raised in red versus blue hardly create a big stir in the field of clinical psychology, but the series does serve as a reminder to look beyond the surface and discover the underlying issues. Though not well known the ethical violations of Dr. Church in a web-based series can easily be cited and discussed when considering ethical dilemma in current testing.
