The year is 2025 and the structure of modern civilization has fallen into a now post-apocalyptic world. If you’ve survived, you can no longer safely walk the streets without the fear of having your body stolen and imprinted with the mind of some one else. This is an extreme scenario of a world where curiosity and power got the best of mankind and our science spun out of control. In the popular TV series, Dollhouse, this unfortunate future became a reality.
The great Rossum Corporation whose power runs deep with influence, created a business out of next-generation prostitution. Imagine being a wealthy or powerful person and with the help of the dollhouse you can rent a human being to be whoever you want them to be and fulfill your any fantasy. After wiping clean the minds of hand selected volunteers, the active is imprinted with the persona of whomever the client wishes the doll to become. These innocent dolls are purchased for anything from a romantic encounter to a dangerous engagement. Throughout the series, one could question the morals of the dollhouse and the ethics involving the technology they use for mind erasing and imprinting.
Ethical and moral issues surround modern day science. Scientific research, especially involving human beings, need to be closely watched and regulated as well as enforcing some sort of ethical code. Without proper regulation, controversial research such as human cloning could progress out of control and have great consequences.
i thought this would be a nice little section to include in my ARP
