I found an article that continues the conversation of the relationship between the person and the body. The author is discussing his own conscious change in his person while observing how his body is the same as the body of the person he was before his concussions mental metamorphosis. The title is also interesting once you read all the way through the article, while it obviously describes a boy sacrificed by his family due to their collective shame of him it could also refer to the author's sacrifice of his own boyhood self in order to survive.
Here's the article:
