Dr. Lawrence Perlman addresses his role in new documentary "Three Identical Strangers"

Ann Arbor psychologist Lawrence Perlman was featured in a recent documentary “Three Identical Strangers,” about a controversial
study conducted on triplets and twins separated at birth. Perlman was a research assistant. He takes issue with the film.

the fact that he said "at least 4 individuals have no idea they were subjects of the experiment" is enough to show how little he cares about other people

[@donnagail8217]

So he is searching for the other twins that were separated at birth for this study. Why now? Why didn't he speak up way back when the study was being conducted? Why did he wait over 40 years to search???? I think he doesn't feel guilty at all. The only reason he is searching is because this documentary was made and makes him look bad! He doesn't fool me at all.

Maybe because he was young and naive and trusted the older more experienced people instructing him to do it

@@mattsaracen7 he got caught and scared that people found out he's an asshole.

It's because he doesn't really think what they did was bad. Its the same way the Germans Nazi doctors justified experiments on people who were going to be murdered anyway. These were medical doctors prior to the war who fell for the Nazi Ideology.

I feel like he's hiding something

[@Mike-01234]

He only now thinks something needs to be done because his involvement has been made public 40 years later.

Yes

[@DeeAnderson-oj2hr]

He's complicit with his involvement in his observations on the children and for not being a whistle blower. He didn't care about the truth and threw ethics right out the window

I had the same thought...
