New Book on Body Integrity Dysphoria: Exploring the Ethics of On-Demand Amputation
The newly released book Body Integrity Dysphoria and the Ethical Dilemma of On-Demand Amputation: Redefining Wholeness, Identity, Autonomy, and the Moral Boundaries of the Human Body offers a pioneering perspective on one of the most complex moral questions in contemporary medical ethics.
The work delves into Body Integrity Dysphoria (BID) – a rare and deeply controversial condition now recognized in the ICD-11 – and examines the dilemmas faced by both patients and the medical community. BID is characterized by a persistent desire to acquire a physical impairment, most often through amputation, forcing medicine to confront the limits of bodily autonomy and ethical care.
