I really do not have a problem with death being the result of these people mutilating themselves. I mean, what are we supposed to do convince them that their arm is a natural appendage to their species? I mean just because 6 billion other people have arms doesn’t mean that they should, right? Or am I somehow Mistating science to support my fascist agenda?
You wouldn’t want a loved one maimed or dead. You’d want them to find help for a serious mental/emotional disorder — and you’d think they were worth the effort.
