The Null Device

A Scottish surgeon was denied permission to amputate a healthy limb from a private patient who wanted it removed. The patient, American Greg Furth, suffers from body dysmorphic disorder, a condition which affects his perception of his own body.

He has felt his right leg was not part of his body since he was a child. He says it is neither a sexual fetish, as some people believe, nor a mental illness.
