removing of limbs

Today in class when we were discussing the removal of healthy limbs due to a psychological disease is really made me very confused on how to think about it. I understand that this is something that a person is born with and that they really feel incomplete and depressed about having a part of their body, and for that reason they want it removed. Also, I cant help but think about all the people who are born without limbs, and who would give anything to have a full functioning body, and these people are just giving their limbs up. I know that is isn't their choice, but it is still hard to think about it in any other way. Also I think about these doctors and hospitals who are risking their reputations when they amputate a perfectly healthy limb off these people. And patients know this so they will do to any cause like burning their body part, or freezing it, so that these is something wrong so the doctors are forced to amputate it. It is a very confusing subject and I'm not really 100% how i feel about it from either side because i see both sides of the argument.
