There is a little-known negative version of wetjacking that has no formal name, and this one I find more morally intriguing. It is difficult and dangerous, and in the most profound sense self-defeating. The aspirant criminal places all base thoughts and desires in one body, slowly forcing that brain to accept memories of pain or humiliation, impulses to violence and wrongdoing, collecting all that is unwanted in a life. That body is then ejected from the connection and—mostly—euthanised. One major difficulty is that the memory of how this euthanasia is to be carried out must also be stored in the severed unit—lest the whole process be marred by the recollection of a form of self-mutilation or suicide—and therefore the criminal is first in the position of devising an appalling deathtrap for himself or herself, and then subsequently—as the severed unit—desperate to get out of it. Such collections of wicked selfhood characteristically possess more animus than ordinary lone fragments, and are therefore more aware and more capable. Daring escapes and subsequent pursuits are not unknown, and where both originator and scapegoat are identified there is a knotty question of whether they should be unwillingly reunited.
