You can visit Antartica with your appendix. If you’re an Australian Doctor wintering there, you need to have it removed:

but yes, this is part of the rationale!

I think about this story all the time. I remember a myth that the Peace Corps required some volunteers to get their appendices removed before sending them off to very remote locations.
What this guy did is beyond what that guy who cut off his own arm in the Utah desert did (I think his name was James Franco)-- cutting off an arm is simple compared to removing an organ, of course he had help, knowledge, and medicine too.
