I notice that quite a lot of threads on this forum seem to be about eyesight.

A 30-year-old woman from North Carolina who has always wanted to be blind is "happier than ever" after putting drain cleaner in her eyes and blinding herself.

The article says she has "Body Integrity Identity Disorder" which I assume is something like Body Dysmorphia. It's a real ethical dilemma as to whether it's right or wrong to allow or assist people to mutilate themselves in the aim of satisfying what is in essence a mental disorder.
