The Boy Who Wants His Leg Cut Off
July 27, 2015
Documentary about Dillon, an eleven-year-old boy who suffers from an aggressive form of neurofibromatosis, a disease that causes tumours to form in his nervous system. His leg has grown out of proportion to his tiny frame and he’s found it hard to get around, never mind joining in with other kids. In his mind there’s only one way to cure the problem – amputation. But can a young boy persuade the medical establishment to cut his leg off, and is it even in his best interests?

The boys best interests and feelings should be taken into account if no cure maybe he’s right and would be more able to get around and have better quality of life ? there is no mention of his parents wishes on here so rather one sided debate ! http://retrodundee.blogspot.com.au/2010_07_01_archive.html?m=1
