never a better time

Last night I watched a documentary called "Whole" which was about people who have a psychological disorder that results in the desire to become an amputee.  These people were serious enough about their convictions to have shot off limbs, frozen limbs in dry ice, and sought surgeons who would willingly amputate a healthy limb.  It was fascinating and surprising and weird.  I was wondering if this might make an interesting topic for my term paper, but it turns out that the disorder isn't yet recognized by the DSM.
