I agree with others, that, while this is a bizarre and disturbing story, it is also definitely worth seeing. Personally, I find it quite uplifting that the man has the courage and determination to continue fighting the things holding him back. great human interest story. thanks Neatorama!

The contributor made it clear that this was an upsetting piece, and the tone was one of sympathy and sorrow, not "OMFG you gotta see this weirdo! lol" Yes, it would be wrong to call this "neat" but that wasn't the intent of the post. Whether or not something that isn't neat should be featured on Neatorama is a different argument which I won't go into except to say that I am fine with posts like this as long as they are presented with tact, as was the case here. @Becki: There's a fundamental difference between the way this item was presented here and the way it might be presented on a more "depraved" site.

Since then I've often hoped they were in Sigapore for treatment and not someone simply abandoned to their own fate by that wealthy nation.
