I don’t like to think of it as self amputation.I prefer to use the term “dissociative phantom component”.Now I need to hear Johnny Cash’s version of It Ain’t Me Babe.
Yeah?You are historically correct, but so what?Nowadays, minor frostbite is treatable, while extreme cases still may require amputation. But “self-amputation” due to frostbite is pretty rare….Chewing your own arm off is best left to Petey Otterloop.

Just carry a barrel of oil around with you and burn some if you get cold. Barrels of oil are cheap now.

Amputation of the “self” is very rare … ’tis easier to just assume a new ID.

“The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert Service seems to offer a much better solution.

If Mitt Romney had called for self-amputation instead of self-deportation, he would be president today.

LOL! Scarlet billows may not be present, but they will show up probably with the amputation…
