Is it really impossible for a hypnotist to make a participant do something against their will? Is there any evidence of a hypnotist making someone do something against their will while in a hypnotic state?

I know there are many sites by practicioners that state it is impossible, but they have a vested interest in making their potential patients feel safe.
This question cannot be answered empirically.


  Thus, a refusal to carry out antisocial actions can be ascribed to insufficient depth of hypnosis (or inadequate hypnotic technique), while the behavior of S[ubject]s who comply can be explained by asserting that the action merely represents what they would have done anyway. (Orne, 1972)
