It's a Pain!

There seems to be a lot of hype around a woman in Scotland who reportedly has a 'genetic mutation' that results in her feeling no pain or fear (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/mar/28/scientists-find-genetic-mutation-that-makes-woman-feel-no-pain). It is suggested that studies on her condition might well lead to new methods of pain relief. The only comment that I would make is that this condition has been well-documented on other occasions but has been regarded as detrimental (as it removes an essential warning of the danger of damage).
