Response to Brianne's Post, "removing of limbs"

I agree whole-heartedly with Brianne’s post about the removal of limbs. I do not completely agree with the idea that someone should be able just to have their limbs removed for the sould purpose that it bothers them that they have the specific body part. When someone is troubled psychologically to the point that they cannot even look at their unwanted limbs, I believe that signals a time to see a psychiatrist, not a surgeon. People can overcome mental thoughts, and eventually they will with the proper care. However, to completely remove a body part because you don’t like it? Something is wrong with that picture. Personally, I had never heard of such a condition before I had read the assigned reading about the doctor being sued for removing a patients’ limbs upon their request. Obviously, the doctor has to serve the patient, but the situation of removing a limb is rather ridiculous.
