This is a really interesting question and one that I feel there is no definitive answer to. My take on it is as follows. We know the story that under hypnosis you can't make someone do something that violates their ethical code and to some extent this is true. If you tell someone in trance to murder someone else, the chances are they will not do it (as long as it's an ethical issue for them ;) ) Now you can do things that are highly unethical that makes the subject believe they are in a situation where their moral code is counter intuitive for survival. In many ways this is what Hitler did. He reoriented peoples' realities so much that people who normally wouldn't kill did some of the most horrific things in human history.

This is just my understanding of it. I've never even considered playing around with someone's ethics.

What do you think?

Cheers!
