Question about pain receptors

2018-06-10 16:33:02
More of a question then anything: Is it possible or is there any kind of surgery that can turn off or remove the body's pain receptors so as to no feel pain anymore?

Not as of now it has been used more in studies on mice and such, it usually occurs by other diseases( such as leprosy) or by trauma to the spine or nerve center. It is unsafe to remove the pain receptors as you would be more likely to get injured.
