there’s a rare mental illness called Body Integrity Dysphoria which makes people want to amputate a limb. They have less phantom pain than ordinary amputees, supposedly.
Issue is, people with Body Integrity Dysphoria might feel extreme discomfort from having a cartain limb (or more), those who gotten said limb amputated got their life improved. They still sometimes suffer from phantom limb pain, but often was an acceptable alternative to having said limb.
Even worse is, eugenicists often think even medically necessary amputations are unjustified, since “a disabled man is just as good as a dead man”.

So it’s a bad idea to get ones limb amputated unnecessarily?
I do not recommend it, but you do you

Define unnecessary.

Thank the weird human brain for mirror therapy.
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.

Works on chronic non amputation injuries too
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
Every night I can feel my leg… and my arm… even my fingers…
C3P0 was right!
Looks painful. Maybe someone should tell them it isn’t real.
Memes? Seems like just a medical list
Where is the meme?
