I have already heard of a guy whose “crippled” hand was less functional than the hook type prosthesis so he went ahead and had the hand amputated. It was proposed by the doctor.

I am thinking along the lines of Stew. My left arm is all but useless, would they consider “replacing” it or using the technology to “bring it back to life”.

Interesting to see how the future shapes up in this field.

Obviously these will be great for people who have already lost limbs. The controversial next ethically questionable step, would be if they were willing to amputate non functional limbs to improve someones quality of life (say legs to allow someone to walk).
