I'm not sure exactly what I want to specifically look into (maybe something broad like is it ever morally justified or something a bit more specific like whether it should be permitted in hospitals). It's not a wide topic so I was wondering if you had any advice on areas would be good to focus on or any recommended reading?

Has there been any look into the shaping self harm into a goal orientated model, which is essentially what tattoos, piercings and tribal scarring are?Callan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15373053356095440571noreply@blogger.com
