Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the
appearance or function of the (human) body, usually without causing death.
Usage of term The term is usually used to describe the victims of
accidents, torture, physical assault, or certain premodern forms of
punishment.
Acts of mutilation Acts of mutilation may include amputation, burning,
flagellation or wheeling. In some cases, the term may apply to treatment of
dead bodies, such as soldiers mutilated after they have been killed by an
enemy.
The traditional Chinese practices of língchí and foot binding are forms of
mutilation that have captured the imagination of Westerners, as well as the
now tourist centered "long-neck" people, a sub-group of the Karen known as
the Padaung where women wear brass rings around their neck.[LINK:
