OK, I think there is a problem between players interpritation between
body and damage.

According the to the Rule book:

"Trash any card that takes damage equal to its body.

If a card takes an amount of damage less than its Body (survives the
attack but is wounded), place a number of tokens on the card equal to
the amount of damage taken. This damage may be healed during your
nest turn."

See it doesn't say that damage reduces the body rating, just that if
a Runner sustains more then it's body it is trashed.

I think you might be confused by the section on Fatigue were it says:
"To represent the effects of Fatique, subtract the unhealed damage has
taken from both his Attack Value and his Body." I asked Fasa about
this several months ago and was told that it was a typo and that it
should read "To represent the effects of Fatigue, subtract the unhealed
damage the Runner has taken from his Attack Value."

So that reference should not even be there....

The only things that effect a Runner's Current body are other cards,
that actually have +(-)X/+(1)X on the card itself or Virus Tokens.
