Some people claim that they need to chop off parts of their bodies to feel right. I remember a woman who saw off one of her legs because it didn't "feel right" to her. Once in a wheel-chair, she claimed, she felt great.
What's your opinion on this? It is okay to chop of body parts at will or is there something natural about normal atanomy that should be preserved.
Next step: If you can chop of body parts you should be able to chop-off mind part. Use of certain drugs would probably the cloest thing. Chopping of your empathy-limb by using cocaine and crystal meth, so to speak. ... Is it a fair idea to alter one's mind-anatomy in such a way, or again, should you bow down before the sanctity of the natural mind?
What do you want to chop off, erase or anihilate?

I had a dream the other day that there was a chainsaw resting against different parts of my body. It wasn't turned on, just resting on me. Scary dream man. Kept saying chainsaw to myself for days.

phantom limb syndrome, apparently, can be a real bitch, particularly if the loss was actively traumatic and consciously experienced. people describe the removed limb still feeling like it's there, in the last position they had it, painfully frozen forever. descriptions like "my left fist is clenching so tightly it hurts," but there's no left fist and no left arm. drugs, even powerful opiates, do nothing to alleviate it. ramachandrian's book, phantoms in the brain, describes a simple trick: a mirror is set up so when the patient moves their right arm, visual feedback indicates the left arm is also moving. then patients can unclench their right fist, the brain is tricked into feeling it's a left fist, and they can get a bit of relief.
however, drugs do have a better answer, purportedly: LAZY_TITLE
I discovered a long time ago that ketamine and cannabinoids helped my phantom hand. I’m quite convinced these classes work by distorting body image so severely that you phase out triggers for the pain. I have experienced profound proprioceptive distortions after intramuscular PCP injection, as if my whole body were a proportional model of the sensory homunculus. But in a sense, what I feel is not hallucination or a distortion, I actually find dissociatives corrective, that is, they make the phantom disappear. This is not just an idiosyncratic response on my part; there are at least three articles published on the effectiveness of ketamine in treating phantom-limb pain. It’s dished out by British pain-management clinics for just that purpose in the form of a nauseatingly artificial lemon-flavored linctus. Needless to say, the whole lot of it gets squirted up the arse to bypass my taste buds, but even this has its drawbacks… like sticky, sugary bum cheeks!
anxiety, moodiness is really what bothers me, but i would not want them completely gone.

Looking for a willing volunteer, Meiwes posted an advertisement on the website The Cannibal Cafe (a defunct forum for people with a cannibalism fetish). Meiwes' post stated that he was "looking for a well-built 18- to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed."
Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, an engineer from Berlin, answered the advertisement in March 2001. Many other people responded to the advertisement but backed out; Meiwes did not attempt to force them to do anything against their will.
The two made a videotape when they met on 9 March 2001 in Meiwes' home, in the small town of Rotenburg, showcasing Meiwes amputating Brandes' penis (with his agreement) and the two men attempting to eat it together. Before doing so, Brandes swallowed twenty sleeping pills, and a bottle of cough syrup, likely causing an effect of slowed breathing and extreme tiredness.
Brandes initially insisted that Meiwes attempt to bite his penis off. This did not work, and ultimately, Meiwes used a knife to remove Brandes' appendage. Brandes apparently tried to eat some of his own penis raw but could not, because it was too tough and, as he put it, "chewy". Meiwes then fried the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, wine, and garlic; he then fried it with some of Brandes' fat, but by then it was too burnt to be consumed. He then chopped the penis up into chunks and fed it to his dog.

The fact about the Armin Meiwes case that impressed me the most was the fact that Meiwes was reading a Star Wars novel while the other guy was bleeding to death, due to his chopped off penis, in Meiwes' bathtub

just posting cos the author of that article, hamilton morris, is awesome. if you can find his documentary series "hamilton's pharmacopeia" it's well worth a watch
i have experienced a kind of phantom limb sensation. soon after doing brain damage, i was in a hospital bed unable to move my right arm. however if i shut my eyes and tried to, say, scratch my nose with that arm it felt like i could move it no problem. my sense-of-body was all mangled. got better over time though it's still not perfect

i always found the other guy much more interesting. i remember reading the full protocol, printed in the Bild (the german Sun) and i had a hard time wrapping my head around it. i could not relate to that at all. it was so far away from me.

welt I've posted this before but not sure if you've seen it. Human alteration / augmentation could lead to what R. Scott Bakker calls the Semantic Apocalypse.

Far from lopping anything off, I'd ideally like to sew an extra nob on.

there was that furry guy on Twitter recently who 'fell asleep' with his hands in liquid nitrogen so he could get them amputated ..... Fuck that for a laugh..
Though this dude, who trepanned himself, i've heard an interview with him and he sounds pretty sound:

I think that Cannibal Cafe case is what part of an episode of the IT Crowd is based on, and I heard Graham Lineham (writer of said series) once say he typically spends several hours a day 'researching'... so I guess that's reading about stuff like that, Graham, like the rest of us lot.. heh

I'd get a new prostate and bladder.
I'm sick of the 'after piss' once the wee fella gets zipped away.
Either that or I'm going to invent absorbant, wonder pants. Keeps you fresher and accentuates your natural package.
