A Change of Mind!

    Number 6 is special, he is seen to have a future a future with The Village, and that’s why the tissue {the brain} must not be damaged. He’s also a stubborn fellow, and a hard to break individual, but no extreme measures are to be used against him because of his “special” status, which helps him out a great deal. Nevertheless he is also a survivor, and survived several very hard ordeals without breaking, even after what they did to him in ‘The Schizoid Man.’ When they say they don't want to damage him they mean that they still want to be able to use his mind. They don’t want to “lose” Number 6, and Number 2 in ‘A Change of Mind’ emphasised the point when he tapped the side of his head. Even if they had broken Number 6 physically, they could have used the Seltzman machine to implant his mind in another body!
