I have the greatest respect for you as a hypnotist and I wonder why you seem to assume that these techniques or others similar to them would not work? Does the universe have some anti-bad-things detector built into it to prevent this from working?
Hypnosis and NLP are very powerful tools, why would they not be possible to misuse?

"kill yourself, now." won't work probably.
but here is a little hypothetical mind game:
imagine me going to a therapist. he/she tells me that noone can harm you with hypnosis, since they can't do anything that goes against your will.
my first question is: "how do you know that? did you try?"
possible answer a) "no, i didn't try." - well, in that case he can't be sure.
possible answer b) "yes, i tried and it didn't work."
answer b) is a tricky one. because it suggests that the therapist consciously risked harming someone in order to try if harming someone with hypnosis works or not. would you trust such a person? ;)
i'm just sayin' ...
hugs&kisses,
little Shin

So can you make someone do something that is against their will, yes, if they think it's in their best interest to do so.

I have been using and studying NLP for almost 10 years. Yes, although I use NLP for the good, I have always been interested in the dark side of it. As scott stated, there have been no documented cases of anything harmful ever happening.
The truth is, althought there may not be documented cases on it being harmful, we forget, that at some point in time we all use "dark side" NLP. Many sucicide cases are a result of human conditioning. Someone is in a hypersuggestible state, there mad, angry, depressed and considering suicide. Imagine if you will, what happens when someone says, kill yourself, or some other mean comments that intesify the state. It results in creating a worse case of depression or even the individual carrying through with suicide.
Those questioning whether embaded commands work. Someone metioned that you can't make any do anything against there will in hypnosis. Although this true, hypnosis is a direct approach. You're giving a direct suggestion to someone to make a change. This makes it easy for someone to reject the notion. However, NLP is ALL ABOUT, being indirect. In other words, suggestion are so indirectly given, that at times the subconscious mind, can't even do a value or belief check. They just have to accept the suggestion.
If you're questioning whether these techniques work, study and then study some more. Understand how eliciting states can create powerful changes. NLP is used by the CIA, FBI, military training, etc to manipulate individuals and it has worked beautifully. The secret is to understand how it works. Looking up the suicide pattern on the interent and saying it to someone isn't going to do crap. This is what so many people believe. You can just say a language pattern and it works.
If you want a sucide pattern to be succesful, you must elicit a depressive state first. Get the person living in the moment. Then you will follow suit with a pattern. After anchoring that elliciate state to you, every time that person sees you they get that depressive feeling, and then just come up with new and unique ways to used embeded sucide suggestions.
No one will ever know documented cases of dark side NLP because there just that cover and darkside. And no one will ever admit to using them.
