Falling Murder Rates
The gun control crowd claims falling murder rates over the last couple of decades aren't caused by more guns, but improvements in trauma care making more murders into attempted murders. This new paper of mine proves this is false. Aggravated assault rates (which would include those attempted murders) are also way down.
When Psychologists Indulge Mental Illness
Channel 5 KFSM reports on a way who wanted to be blind and now is:
Like being transgendered. Why would a psychologist not lose his license to practice for this?
RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina woman says she is happier than ever after fulfilling her lifelong wish of becoming blind.
Jewel Shuping, 30, has Body Integrity Identity Disorder, which is a condition where able-bodied people believe they are meant to be disabled, according to Barcroft TV.
Shuping said that her fascination with blindness began when she was about 6 years old.
“By the time I was 6 I remember that thinking about being blind made me feel comfortable,” she told Barcroft TV....
In 2006, Shuping found a psychologist who was willing to help her become blind. The psychologist began putting numbing drops in her eyes, followed by a couple of drops of drain cleaner.
“It hurt, let me tell you. My eyes were screaming and I had some drain cleaner going down my cheek burning my skin,” she told Barcroft TV. “But all I could think was ‘I am going blind, it is going to be okay.'”
It took about half a year for the damage to take effect....
“I really feel this is the way I was supposed to be born, that I should have been blind from birth,” Shuping said. “When there’s nobody around you who feels the same way, you start to think that you’re crazy. But I don’t think I’m crazy, I just have a disorder.”
