Chloe wants to be a paraplegic??? As in on purpose?

Why Chloe Needlessly Spends Her Life in a Wheelchair

Monday, February 27, 2012 5:08AM

Chloe joins "Anderson" to describe her Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID), a mental condition which has made Chloe believe she needs to spend her life in a wheelchair, despite having full use of her legs. 

Chloe believes so passionately that her true self is a paraplegic… that she has even looked for doctors who will sever her spine so that she loses the function of both legs. 

"For me this is like a temporary stopgap," Chloe says. "The only thing that will really make me happy in life is to actually be paraplegic." 

Chloe says paraplegia will be the fulfillment of her lifetime dream to be completely who she was meant to be. 

Take a look…
