Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

FredricRice asked this question on 5/9/2000:

I also find in the Auditor's code item number 27 which reads, "I promise to refuse any being to be physically injured, violently damaged, operated on or killed in the name of 'mental treatment.'"

In light of the Lisa McPherson homicide, does anyone know if _this_ one has been repealed as well? And if not, what the Condition of Ethics would be?

Desertphile gave this response on 5/9/2000:

Hi. Ms McPherson was not killed by auditors: she was killed by, essentially, menial grunts who's main function in the Fort Homicide Hotel was to wash floors and scrub toilets, with security staff and a "medical officer" joining in. The Auditor's Code did not apply.

I got that impression from other experts as well. It does look as though auditors do hold to these ideals but they can't control what their management does.
