Body Identity Disorder is a rare and very real mental disorder.

Sufferers are neither selfish or stupid.

The poor lass definitely needs somebody in mental health who is equipped to deal with such a terrible illness because nobody would ask to be made paraplegic unless they had a severe mental illness. Very sad.

No doctor/surgeon should be allowed to carry out such a life changing operation.

If her spinal cord is cut at around waist level, won't she also lose control of her bladder and bowels and end up having wear nappies?
