Number one ethics rule: Don't gently caress with people's brains. Just don't do it.

Don't gently caress with people's brains:
1) irreversibly
2) against their will
3) because they're different

Is this a "don't do it if its one of these" or "don't do it if its all of these"? The second case I can agree with, but the first one is... pretty divergent from mainstream opinion. loving with people's brains in an attempt to give them a better life is like the major purpose of the psychiatric system, through means both direct and indirect, and plenty of those means are in fact irreversible. Do you believe psychology to be immoral?

"All of these", but meeting 2/3 of the criteria should be a big red flag, and any of the three could potentially be a good enough reason on its own. Extreme violence might be an exception but it's still icky.
