Poll: If you were forced, would you cut off a man's arm or leg?

[FenrirsWilly]

Can I cut off both arms and legs? and instead of being forced to, how about I enjoy it, preferribly of someone i dislike greatly.

 

[tthor]

an arm. it probably be easier to remove it without the person dieing of bloodloss,

 

[mParadox]

Leg.

You need both of your arms. You can pretty much learn to survive on one leg. But one arm? Damn that's gonna be hard. So yeah, leg.

 

[Eumersian]

Leg. All you need those for is walking, and we have wheelchairs. Arms are necessary for manipulation. Something that allows humans to do things that other animals can't.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

Arm. You can still walk with one arm.

I honestly couldn't make the decision. I'd sit around trying to find an answer and ultimately starve to death as a result of my inability to decide. Both choices are simply too horrible to contemplate.

I would pick the arm because you can always use the other one with minor difficulties and then after I pressed the button I remember that you can use a prostate in case of the leg (I know it exists fore arms to but the one fore legs sames a bit better)so I change my mind and pick leg.

You must have already been quoted about this so I'm sorry for doing it again but, prostate instead of prosthetic is a fantastic misuse of wordage. Moving around using your prostate sounds pretty darn painful to me

As for arm vs leg, depends on the person. How important is movement to him? How important is tool manipulation to her? Where abouts is the limb gone from? Below the knee/elbow or above? Below the shoulder/hip or has that gone too? Bleh whatever, my natural choice would be to hack off the leg.

actually no one has quoted me about it and well English is not my first language so sometimes it just go to hell when I try to write anything anyway I am glad you understood what I was actually meaning.

Assuming the person will notdie for my pathetic medical skill, I would cut off the leg.

 

[Astoria]

Arms > Legs

You can't walk without legs but you can still wheelchair where you need to go. Without arms... Shit, there isn't a whole lot you CAN do. I mean, in time I guess you could learn, but the learning curve would be much more massive.

Yeah this. You don't realise how much you use your hands until you can't.

You humans can't grow new ones? D:

I guess I would slice his leg. it would inconvenience him less.

I chose leg; the arms have the hands which house fine manipulators. No prostetic could emulate the fine detail the fingers can manage. However the legs manage simple motor functions; walking, running, standing, hopping, etc. A nifty prostetic, of not even cutting edge technology, could restore the functions to the poor sod. So sure, I'm taking something from the guy, but he can have it back in a prosthetic. He'd be sad if I claimed even a hand.

A leg doesn't need fine motor skills, its a leg. Something you stand on. It has a knee, an anckle and some toes. That's it. Its much simpler to have a prostate for a leg than for an arm.
