Wait a second . . . we were not talking about self amputation for solely cosmetic purposes. I even said "Keep in mind that we are talking [i]about amputation and not augmentation.[/i]"
We were talking about self amputation (the doing away of a body lime, period. Not changing it or rearranging body parts (i.e. augmentation.)
If we were then it would be called cosmetic surgery or reassignment, not amputation.
I specifically said amputation because I meant amputation. I said for cosmetic purposes because that's what it would be. If you cut off your arms just because you didn't like them and not for a medical reason, that's a cosmetic purpose. Derp.
