Anyone who gets this done needs a head doctor. And as for the woman who says in the article about feeling pressue from society? If you're the type of human that is a puppet to the world, I feel for you but go get help.

As for the commenter that says, "He suffers from BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder) " but he is not crazy? Oh really? This guy gets his leg amputated? For lack of health reasons except that he "feels" he should? And his buddy says he is not crazy? Maybe both of them should get a head doctor.

We have way too much time on our hands in the United States these days. Do any of you ever travel outside the states to see how much people suffer from day-to-day just to feed themselves? And yet there are folks in this country who think they need to be taller through leg breaking? WTF?

Insight is a wonderful advantage over stupid people doing stupid things in life.
