Would you cut off a limb to save a stranger?

Hell no. I don't know the other person, thus I have zero emotional attachment to them, and who's to say they won't die anyway somehow? There's no point me cutting my arm off to save someone from a bullet to the head, if he's going to die of AIDS or a heart attack tomorrow morning instead.

To be honest, I probably wouldn't even cut off a limb to save someone I knew. I'd only do it if my own life was in danger, and there would have to be absolutely zero chance of me escaping death without cutting off a limb before I even considered that. Call me selfish if you want, but I've always believed in looking out for number one. It's a selfish world. Deal with it.

No. Little chance the dude will actually be set free, little chance of personal survival. At least if I don't, I am marginally more likely to survive.

probably not, when I think about it now I would. But people act totally differently in situations like that which put you under immense amounts of pressure.

Hooray for self preservation! Yeah I would stand a better chance surviving a mad man if I were intact. Someone that would kill another person in this kind of scenario I am not going give the benefit of the doubt.

I'd try and find a way to lure the crazy person into a random argument so as to distract them:
eg.
"Ok, but...can you pay for surgery to reattatch it?"
"....WHAT!?"
"Well, it might get infected and-"
"THIS ISN'T NEGOTIABLE!"
"Sheesh, you know..if I had asked you to do this, i would have paid for the healthcare! Don't you know anything about villain ethics!?"
*argument would continue until villain is lured to a false sense of security or i see an opening to take them out*

Considering I'm not only a gamer but also make part of my living as a freelance artist, I'll have to say no... Unless we're talking a leg here, in which case I'd say maybe if a means of transportation out of the villain's lair was conveniently placed for my and my fellow man's escape.

I would. My left arm. And then, if the stranger did turn out to be Hitler, I'd just beat him to death with it and feel satisfied.

I would not cut off a limb for a stranger. Nor would I cut off a limb to save myself. It belongs on my body and I wish to die as a whole being. Being mutilated on purpose is a disgrace.

Fuck that shit. I need my arms for gaming.

EDIT: and my legs for walking to my computer/toilet/fridge

I'd like to think so, but I'd probably try stalling for time, cut halfway down to the bone and then pass out from pain and blood loss.

I wouldn't even cut off my limb to save me. I am very attached to my limbs. I have had them for as long as I can remember.
