What is the difference from killing someone and altering his/her mind
(and maybe body) in a permanent and deep way against his/her will?
In both you have practically erased the person and supplanted him with
another person that you (intelligently) designed to suit your standards.
He/she is not more a subject but an object of action. Then, having
redesigned him, are you responsible and accountable for his/her actions?
