Parasyte - the maxim

i dont see how migi could control shinishi´s action. as long as shinichi has another arm and a functioning brain, he could either kill himself or make contact with other people. even if he fails to do that, his parents and then other people would notice his absence and ultimately his horrible physical state. migi has no chance to keep itself a secret if shinichi doesnt want it to be.

He already said that he can make Shinichi blind, deaf and mute. I'm sure crippling him is also an option. Having Shinichi in a coma or just plain alive is enough for Migi to get by. He's not after quality of life, he's just after survival.

That part wasn't explored, but Migi already said that he could wire up the arm to obey Shinichi's neural input while he slept. That means functionally it's not all that different. A doctor would expose Shinichi to look at his entire body, and perhaps Xray him given he'd like like he suffered from trauma, but I don't expect them to find anything particularly wrong if Migi can at least imitate normal arm structures. If the xray was normal they probably wouldn't CT the arm given that it'd look fine.
