> controlling your train of thought, changing it when that someone finds it undesirable

Machines don't feel. Even 'self aware' machines. Desire has got nothing to do with it.

If it's self-aware, that's enough. What if your thoughts were controlled from birth, making you "not feeling" but self-aware (let's assume for a moment that simultaneous fulfillment of both of these conditions is possible) and manipulating you at will. Would that be acceptable?
