I’m personally fine with this for the same reasons I’m fine with suicide and euthanasia. So long as opting in to disability doesn’t make you a burden on others. Obvious room for abuse.

Of course! You know about the amputation thing, of course. And body dysmorphia’s come in all forms. Now are there people who WANT mental illnesses? eg deliberately try to get schizophrenia from drugs? That I’m unaware of, which is actually an interesting contrast.

I've read about something like this. Due to a neurological difference, the brain failed to recognize a part of the person's body - in this case their leg - and the person found the leg alien and disturbing. I don't think it's a case of "wanting" a disability as true dysphoria.
