- cbui81, on 11/07/2008, -1/+68Uhhh yeah... THIS is the real reason why WTF was created.
- AmyVernon, on 11/07/2008, -2/+57Perhaps a cure for the mental affliction might be a better avenue to pursue?
- keyforce, on 11/08/2008, -2/+50While they're at it, they should totally cure cancer.
- Someb0dy, on 11/08/2008, -2/+40"they feel one of their limbs is not truly their own"
Then who the ***** does it belong to? - inactive, on 11/08/2008, -2/+35This would make for a very short Saw movie:
Jigsaw: "You must cut through your..."
Victim: "All done!"
Jigsaw: "Oh....well...that door is still under a timed lock....sooooo I guess we've got a solid two hours two burn....charades anyone?" - headband, on 11/08/2008, -0/+28that would not cure the condition it would spread it.
- dharasick, on 11/08/2008, -12/+39This is not a disease. It's called insanity. That is so gross.
- toshimonkey, on 11/08/2008, -0/+21The ideal cure would be development of a variety of modular limb replacements. i.e. chainsaw hand, rocket leg, etc.
- pirlok, on 11/07/2008, -8/+25medics should find a cure for this.. what if someday 'amputee wannabes' come back to their senses and see what mistake they had done?
- sarasowrong, on 11/07/2008, -1/+14Well if it makes them happier.. I would just hope that all attempts would be made to figure out (and possibly treat via therapy) the source of their desire to be an amputee before chopping off a healthy limb.
- toshimonkey, on 11/08/2008, -0/+13it's still considered masturbation, nice try though.
- MonoDede, on 11/08/2008, -0/+12that would be totally awesome.
- Chaotix, on 11/08/2008, -6/+17Did I land at theOnion.com inadvertantly?
- sp89, on 11/08/2008, -1/+12WTF pretty much sums it up
- Murdats, on 11/08/2008, -0/+10http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_hand_syndrome
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -3/+13this is clearly a mental disease. Imagine the feeling of waking up after the operation as reality sets in and realizing what a fool you are..
- jotate, on 11/08/2008, -4/+13The body part they're not in control of is clearly their mind.
- ceredron, on 11/08/2008, -1/+10That's a damn good question
- GoKings, on 11/08/2008, -0/+9William Shatner
- baseballnick211, on 11/08/2008, -0/+9"Oh Dear Lord! What happened to your arm?!"
"Didn't feel like it was mine. Stuck m hand in the blender all the way up to my shoulder. No biggie." - emt1451, on 11/08/2008, -1/+9you are being dugg down because you make no ***** sense.
- austang, on 11/08/2008, -1/+8You could only talk me into that if it was going to be a casualty from a light saber duel. And I would have to be guaranteed a realistic, if not better, robotic replacement.
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -1/+8Are limb transplants possible?
- AzureRise, on 11/08/2008, -0/+7So, if it jerks you off, is it rape, a hand job, or masturbation?
- doiveo, on 11/07/2008, -2/+9If the limb were better (Luke?) perhaps but this just screams post traumatic stress.
- riverrunner, on 11/08/2008, -2/+7No.
- shck, on 11/08/2008, -1/+6Hello, Clarice.
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -6/+11Please explain how this is different than transexuals and wanting to cut off their penises.
- Inox555, on 11/08/2008, -3/+8Run two DNA tests; one on the offending limb and another on a part of their body they wish to retain. If comparative results fail to convince, remove said limb and proceed to beat them over the head with it whilst repeatedly screaming, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?!?!"
Better yet, line up a transplant recipient in advance of the operation. At least SOME good will come from this stupidity. - inactive, on 11/08/2008, -0/+5So you are angry that you are being compared to these people?
That makes you:
A. A hypocrite, because you expect people to accept your choices, yet you apparently dont like these peoples (otherwise you wouldnt be angry when compared to them)
B. A ampuphobic *****.
You choose. - malakite33, on 11/08/2008, -0/+5Very in depth BBC documentary on the condition http://www.veoh.com/videos/v15551477dSpE8erx?rank= ...
- pablo0713, on 11/08/2008, -1/+6Satan is in my arm.
- jchrome, on 11/08/2008, -0/+4tree stumps?
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -0/+4lets just hope decapitee wannabes start appearing.
- rivalthecreator, on 11/08/2008, -1/+5That's ***** up.
- hardcrocodile, on 11/08/2008, -0/+4How do you feel about a man who feels like a woman his entire life having gender reassignment surgery?
- SexyFarts, on 11/08/2008, -1/+5it's ok, i let my radiation level hit 600 and Moira said i would regrow crippled limbs
- psykiv, on 11/08/2008, -1/+5Oddly enough, this is not the first time i hear of this. I have definitely been on the internet too long :(
- grapesofbaath, on 11/08/2008, -2/+6I hope they don't get taxpayer-paid surgeries and get disability money afterwards.
- Lapper, on 11/08/2008, -0/+4http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=336#more-336
- Murdats, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3if you were on the train at the time, all of the above.
- Chaotix, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3Thanks Mr. Traichel. Here's proof your english class taught me nothing.
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -1/+4Well I still don't think cutting off limbs and satisfying the nutty obsession is the answer.
- FutureisDubious, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3It's called Body Integrity Identity Disorder. The show "Nip/Tuck" did an episode called "Ben White" about a guy that wanted his leg to be cut off because he thought it "didn't belong there"

crazy clip... - 2006nerd, on 11/08/2008, -2/+5I think he just wanted the disable parking lot spot. >.<
Just kidding. - emt1451, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3It has nothing to do with being PC or gay issues; you're just dumb, and as a result, are being dugg down. You asked, I answered.
- Mujokan, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3They are likely to go do it on the black market if you don't let them.
In this documentary I saw, they followed a few cases. One that they blocked was a woman who wanted both her legs cut off. They blocked her because she wouldn't agree to have just one cut off, it had to be both. It seemed that she had a kind of "disablement envy" and thought she would be happier if she was in a wheelchair getting everyone's sympathy. The ones with the real deal have a weird body image disconnect that resembles those weird cases of brain injuries where people think their loved ones are replaced with imposters, etc. - j3ff86, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzXk3nfEdMY
- madfrogurt, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3I see parallels between this and a sex change operation. While I think a fair percentage of the population would consider a sex change morally acceptable, I think a far smaller portion of the populous would agree with cutting off a patient's leg because they were unsatisfied with it.
- grumpyrain, on 11/08/2008, -0/+3or even figure out how anaesthetics work.
