ORIGINAL: sazmira First off, being stupid or short sighted isn't illegal because stupidity is often in the eye of the beholder. As unbelievably hot as I find this story and the accompanying photos, there's not a thing illegal about it. The only things that would have been illegal would have been if one of them claimed to be a doctor or one of them was forced/coerced into doing it without their consent. http://www.bmezine.com/news/pubring/20050401.html Wait... No... It's a bad thing. Unsafe! Insane! Consensual is irrelevant! Quick! Send them to jail! They performed surgury without a license. On each other. With their teeth. And they didn't provide aftercare for each other! ACK! quote:

ORIGINAL: missturbation I have a rat up my ass (not literally) about intolerance and judgement of others kinks at the moment [:@] I'll get over it lol. Ive sat on not responding to this thread for a couple of days now to make sure i really did mean what i said and that i wasnt off the cuff ranting - and i wasn't [:D] My intolerance here isn't the kink. It's the fact that some s-types are willing to risk the legal well being of a D-type for their fucking fantasies. Those mean ol' submittives, leading those poor ol' dominates astray and getting them arrested... Bad subs, bad. Actually, tops have a responsibility to make sure they aren't playing with moronic whackjob bottoms just like bottoms have a responsibility to make sure they aren't playing with the moronic or psychotic. And should they choose to play with the moronic or the psychotic... Oh well. *shrug* I understand the drive to protect. I just figure folks are grown up enough to protect themselves. Or they should be, anyway. The reason I'm rambling and babbling about all this is, I have to wonder where the law comes into play in your OP. The only way a top could get arrested for an extreme body modification is if the bottom sued or pressed charges or the top misrepresented themselves in some way, "No really, I'm a doctor, I am!" Otherwise people could not, would not be doing any extreme body mods like these: http://www.bmezine.com/service/samples/tour4.html Consent. It really truly does matter. If it were me, I absolutely would do it. If I could be firmly convinced of the seriousness of the person. If I could be firmly convinced of their capability to handle such things. If I could be firmly convinced of the capability of reasoning out the potential pitfalls and long term consequences of the person who wanted such an extreme body modification. Last but not least, I would absolutely do this if I were capable of doing the extreme body modification in as safe a manner as possible. Sadly, I am not convinced of my own abilities to do such things... no matter how panty dripping I find the idea of chomping off someone's finger. Anyway. If I had the ability to do of such things, and all that... I would find the best, most airtight bodymod waiver on the planet. I'd have on camera discussions, preaching doom and gloom in my bestest hellfire and brimstone voice about the potential negative consequences and pitfalls. I'd do everything I possibly could to make sure my ass was as covered as it could possibly be.... it still might not give me a get-out-of-jail free card should the bottom decide to have me arrested. Then again, most judges are people. With that sort of paper trail, and that much documentation, many judges might see two consenting adults, in a consenting act of stupidity wherein BOTH partners were willing to do this stupid thing without any form of coercion, and tell both parties to get the hell out of their courtroom and to quit wasting their time. I've seen it happen and the annoyance of the judge amuses me crap out of me every time. Having been a participant in the criminal system for about 14 years now (no not as a criminal), I can tell you this is mostly wishful thinking and nullification of the law is incredibly uncommon and rarely done by judges, mostly juries and even then incredibly rarely.
