Ethics - Multiple Personalities

Thanks to the new TV show Do No Harm, my mind has been pondering the topic of good/evil and multiple personalities.  

First off, if someone had multiple personalities who decides which version of the person is the "real" one?  Is there even a "real" one?  Say you are a psychiatrist/psychologist and are attempting to give that "real" version full control, how is that not the same as killing the other(s)?

In the show (Do No Harm) everyone seems to consider Ian as the evil guy who is possessing Jason, but I have been given no evidence to suggest that Ian is as bad as they say.  Sure, he's kind of an ass but Jason is no better.  In effect Jason locked Ian up for five years and he just expects Ian not to retaliate?  Jason is trying to kill him.  How is that not evil?  Both Ian and Jason have 12 hours, half a day each.  Anyone care to tell me who is possessing who here?  But I digress, it's late, I'm tired and this can be continued at another time.  

Good night all!

Upcoming Movies #2 (Now You See Me)

I love magic and illusions so I have been waiting quite some time for a new illusionist movie to come out.  However, I suspect that I might be disappointed in this case.  Though the trailer has some good effects and a few funny bits the story line itself feels lacking.  Not very well planned out.  If you're going to have a movie surrounded by magic there needs to be something more to it than thievery.  There are more than enough Robin Hood stories out in the world already.
