4. If you were a doctor and had a patient like that, would you decide to help them with the amputation (given that it was legal), or refuse and risk them killing themselves in the attempt to do it themselves?

i think it's both selfish and stupid for these people to expect sympathy or care, let alone state handouts for a self inflicted affliction

Unfortunately with the apotemnophilia a healthy body is what keeps them from feeling healthy in their minds. I'm TRYING to understand that and not seeing it as a mutilation but something that makes them whole, but it just goes against anything I'm convinced of. I hope I'll never be faced with this!
