Which would you give up? A leg or an arm?

I am only willing to give up if it grows back.

I go with you, I would choose to give up my arm rather than my legs. Without legs, would feel more helpless. But, its really a pity for that soldier. . They are really our hero who make sacrifices with their lives for us. Heads off. .

I would give up my arm as well. I don't think that I would deal very well with constantly being in a wheel chair/needing that much help. I am an independent person and it would drive me crazy if I could not get around alone. There are plenty of things that I could do one handed; I would just have to get used to the difference.

I would only want to give up an arm I think, but only the left arm at that since I am right handed. I would hate to have to lose a body piece. I am very thankful I am not in that situation.

If I absolutely needed, I would give my arm, because losing it doesn't take my mobility away. Without a leg, we are more dependent of others, and I don't like the idea.

Ouch. I hope he recovers quickly. And my thoughts are with him. I honestly think I'd do better in life with having a leg missing. That way I can get a prosthetic to help me walk. I couldn't give away an arm because I use my hands a lot. I'm a writer and a musician and that would be torture.

I think most people would choose to give up an arm becasue with two legs you can still walk. I would be no exception I would choose to give up an arm. I hope to never be faced with the choice however. I know some people do great with prosthetics but I dont know if I would be one of them.

It depends on how much of the limb I would be losing. If it were the whole arm or whole leg, I would choose to lose the arm, but if it were below the knee or below the elbow, I'd choose the leg. There are excellent prosthetic limbs today which would allow you to walk fine with half a leg missing, and I'd prefer to look, feel and function as normal as possible.

I'd rather lose a leg. Having an artificial leg would stop me from running, but not much else. Losing an arm would severely limit things I need both hands to do since I wouldn't have the dexterity of two hands with ten fingers.

That is so sad your friend will be in my prayers. I hope I never have to choose between my arm or leg. I really don't know what I would do. I would probably choose to lose my arm because I wouldn't be confined to a wheelchair.
