I disagree totally. This person is obviously seeking attention doing
this via the internet. He needs a professional therapist, not more
attention!

Colleagues - Go to www.cutoffmyfeet.com. There is a paraplegic in
Mississippi named Freck who is going to webcast his self-amputation of
both his legs by guillotine. He's wants to regain his active lifestyle
that he lost prior to falling out of a pick-up truck bed in 1986. He's
been fitted with SAO's but he wants better and Medicaid, and insurance
there won't cover. This guy needs evaluation and education STAT! Let's
try and get through to him before he makes a very big mistake.
