What are you talking about? Mind control had nothing to do with mortality.

Mind control is a general term for a number of controversial theories and/or techniques designed to subvert an individual's control of their own thinking, behavior, emotions, or decisions. While terms such as mind control have been called "merely more scientific-sounding terms for . . . brainwashing", the term is actually more general and can cover subjects such as hypothetical neurotechnology that, it is claimed, might one day "hack" the human brain.

Since the mid-1930s scientists have known that establishing a potential field across a neural cell membrane could cause it to fire artificially. Experiments especially with giant axons of ocean squid showed such artificial stimulation possible. Thus neurotechnology has evolved for 70 or so years, during Stalin's, Hitler's and other totalitarian regimes, justifying if not substantiating much of the so-called "conspiracy theories".

While discussion of these techniques are popular amongst cult critics, conspiracy buffs, and as a subject of speculative fiction,[3] any techniques of mind control that actually work would have real-world applications.[not specific enough to verify] Such applications, were they to exist, might include use by hypothetical religious cults, by governments as torture techniques used to obtain confessions, as psyops to break resistance movements, by the advertising industry to manipulate consumer habits, and by the public relations industry to manufacture consent or remediate corporate image in the event of a crisis.[not specific enough to verify]

The feasibility of such control and the methods by which it might be attained (either direct or more subtle) are subject to debate among psychologists, neuroscientists, and sociologists. Also, the exact definition of mind control and the extent to which it might have any kind of influence over individuals are debated.

The different views on the subject do have legal implications. For example, mind control was an issue in the court case of Patty Hearst, and in several court cases involving New Religious Movements. Also, questions of mind control are regarding ethical questions linked to the subject of free will.

The question of mind control has been discussed in conjunction with religion, politics, prisoners of war, totalitarianism, neural cell manipulation, cults, terrorism, torture, parental alienation, and even battered person syndrome..

If what you mean by "mind control" is inner mental self-discipline, yes, that is very very hard.

Most masters of these eastern Oriental disciplines (yoga, tai chi, etc) will tell you that the physical parts of them are the easy parts - It's training your mind and the mental exercises that are the hardest

The most stringent form of control of body/ mind/ intellect could be tested/ practiced by the following experiment: (many have tried and utterly failed...but some are supposed to have won!!!):

Lie down totally naked on a cot in a room. Ask your girl friend (if she obliges) to try to fiddle you. If you could control yourself and be in a state of trance... nothing happening to arouse you...Yes! that's it!!!

mind control is not very easy: but possible, and, you still have normal life in society, you enjoy life more! There is peace, progress and a whole lot of good things developing about your personality! Very promising!

Makes me think of cults and indoctrination. Makes me think of pyramid schemes, Communism, censorship of free speech, that sort of stuff.
