Number Six Has Aggressive Tendencies
And it was the doctor-No.22 of Checkmate who first suggested that a Leucotomy to knockout the nerve centres of the brain. But No.6 is far too important for such drastic action.
Later in the episode A Change of Mind it looked like they were actually going to carry out the operation known as Instant Social Conversion, in actual fact a Leucotomy to dislocate the aggressive frontal lobes of the brain. An operation which had actually been carried out on patients up until the 1970's, and which {in some extreme cases} was brought back into operation, and is still at times, carried out today.
The idea is to make the aggressive patient docile by the dislocation of the frontal lobes of the brain. This in some cases has worked. In other cases the Leucotomy operation has made no difference to the patients aggressive behaviour, and in extreme cases the patient has been lost altogether! And of course that would have been the grave danger had the Leucotomy actually been carried out on No.6. They might very well have lost him!
But at least the Village doctors delevoped a more clean, more clinical way of dislocating the aggressive frontal lobes, unlike the real operations which were completely brutal.
Be seeing you
