One disturbing element of this case report is the ethical gymnastics the medical team performed to rationalize the decision to amputate. end snip I encourage the reading of the article in the HYPERLINK It appears that psychological problems are now treated by lopping off parts of the body. What has happened to society?
I wasn’t expecting a Bible lesson on made-up history to explain why this man must be forced to live in horror and he is wrong and shouldn’t really have a say in this because it’s against the so called natural order that God created. Well, first of all nature, yes nature and not God, is very messy and creates unequal conditions where someone can suffer greatly and another person might not even understand it because they aren’t suffering the same thing at all. Second, unless you’ve walked a mile in someone else’s shoes, as they say, you aren’t really in a position to judge. And also, denying someone their freedom to control their lives from grievous suffering isn’t really part of the freedom to control one’s own destiny that one might also confess in other situations.
Less insane than lopping off ones stick and berries. Only one set of them. This Canadian has 8 other fingers still.
we should lop off body parts rather than treat the mental disorder. You may want to review the term "norm"
A lot of mental disorders are untreatable and our knowledge of mental health conditions are basically in the stone age -- something I learned from the doctors treating my own mental health condition.
No real company will hire him as he can't work as fast as a person with 10. He has no choice now but to go and loaf around Gaza being an aide worker.
Dude is clinically insane. Cutting his fingers off ain't going to help that, and will make him permanently a ward of the state needing constant care because he cannot so much as wipe his own *******.
How would you like it if some alien leach worm attached itself to your body and you weren't allowed to remove it because of "mental illness" it's the same situation.
Your fingers are not alien leach worms. Neither is your penis. Those are parts of your biology that are supposed to be there, and your concern that they should not be is a bona fide mental disorder for which you should seek therapy and chemical intervention. What no doctor should do is start lopping parts off of you BECAUSE you are crazy.
