This could be one way to commit the perfect murder.

Given the bizarre things people do under hypnosis, would the suggestion to take one’s own life be enough to stir one back to consciousness from the subliminally induced enslaving stupor?

erm, i don’t think its possible, you see hypnotism is down to an individuals susceptibility to suggestion. people under hypnosis aren’t under any kind of spell or ‘control’, they are just open to suggest ability. i heard that if you tried to make someone under hypnosis kill themselves, or hurt someone, they wouldn’t be capable of doing so as they don’t want to do it in the first place. however, you could trick someone into it whilst they were hypnotised, by perhaps telling someone to drink from a poison bottle of wine, or similar scenario. as long as they didn’t know exactly what was happening, this is possible but its not a good way to murder someone.

if that’s what your looking to do, then you need only remember two things: if they find the body, they WILL find the murderer (nowadays at least), and always have an alibi!
