THAT is a very good question. I've often wondered that myself. However, Carlisle is supposed to have much more self control than Edward. So, if Edward could resist, then I guess Carlisle should be able to resist as well. Carlisle does say that the smell of blood no longer affects him any more. However, if you read MIDNIGHT SUN, the reader realizes that Edward came VERY close to killing Bella when the first met in Biology class. AND... in BREAKING DAWN, the vampires have to go without blood for a while, so they couldn't hunt until they had made peace with the wolf pack. I would say that all the Cullen's were very 'hungry' at this point. I know that one time when they were feeding Bella human blood, that Carlisle seemed to have some difficulty with it. Carlisle then asked Jacob if it would be safe for them to hunt in certain areas of the forest. Jacob told them where it would be safe to hunt, then Carlisle (and the others) left in a flash. Jacob then realized that even Carlisle was starving at this point and that he needed to hunt to be in proper control of himself. So, I'd think if Carlisle were hunting regularly and was well fed, then he would be able to resist his own singer. But if Carlisle were to go a prolonged amount of time without blood of any kind... then he would weaken... and his own personal singer might just be a little too much for him to handle at this point.
