I'd go with a leg. I could deal with a prosthetic leg, I think, but I couldn't deal with losing an arm... it would just be too difficult to manipulate objects.

What about you, ACF (except Cao)?

leg

the hands have to many joints and bones to try and replicate the movements to be affordable.

fighting two wars has done wonders for the development of prosthetics.

Probably leg. It's less noticeable and doesn't affect job opportunities as much as a hand would.

They have prosthetic legs people have been using for snowboarding.


Leg fakes are way more advanced right now than arms/hands. It's such an easy choice

Snowboarding and surfing, the two things I would think I couldn't do anymore.

I'm sold. Take the leg.
