La manipulaci贸n psicosom谩tica de la personalidad
Medico-biological manipulation is the application of
scientific-natural methods and techniques on the part
of a human being who is conscious of the fact that he
is operating upon another -equally human- being,
with the aim of inducing the latter to act in an unconscious
manner in any particular direction.
Manipulation has to fulf铆l, therefore, the following
prerequisites:
1) the manipulator has to be conscious of his
actuation upon the other human being;
2) the person being manipulated has to be a
conscious individual, at least potentially; that is, he
must be a human person, but
3) the manipulated subject must not be conscious
of the fact that he is being operated upon.
Bearing these prerequisites in mind, we can conclude
that:
1) genetic manipulation is not possible, nor is
cerebral manipulation, the latter form being understood
within the framework of direct action on the brain
-by means of neuro-surgical or neuro-physiological
methods- since apart from being ineffective (at least
it is very difficult to achieve concrete planned results).
the abolition of conscious knowledg,e is lacking;
2) the ut铆l铆zation of drugs or the so-called brainwash
are much closer to the concept of manipulation,
Insofar as their applications and effects are concerned,
althoughin these cases also, it is difficult to foresee
the final result achieved upon the person being manipulated.
In a word, an objective analysis of the biological
techniques and of their results demonstrates that any
fear in a future -robotization - of personality, founded
wholly from a cultural point of view -think, for exampie,
of the manipulation carried out by p'ropaganda or
through publicity- does not appear to have much
chance of being converted into a real铆ty, at least with
reference to medical methods
