i was talking about this with a friend today and am curious what you guys would do. Also the amputation would be painless so factor that into your decision.

i guess if i had to i wouldn't really have a choice, now would i? :P

I think having two legs gives you better quality of life than a billion dollars does

I wouldn't even give my foot for a billion dollars. It's just not worth it.

Cut it off and give me a fake, less knee pain. Though there is the potential Phantom Limb Syndrome.

I would do it. So long as it's not with a dull machete and they just throw all the money in my face afterward. It would need to be in a clean medical environment or at least have medics around.

No, I wouldn't. I don't want to rely on a fake leg, or be stuck to a wheelchair all my life. There has to be negative side effects for not being able to exercise without both legs.

I wouldn't even consider it. Money just isn't important enough to me where id take it over enjoying playing sports like basketball and golf with friends. No money can buy u a leg as good as the one u got. Just get a decent job that pays well enough.

I feel the same way, as long as you do what makes you happy.

Though I did pick the 3rd option because a billion dollars is ALOT, and I'm sure there would be a way to "steal" another persons leg and graft it to my body.

Of course, I don't mind having a fake leg or a wheelchair. It's not like I'm into sports so a fake leg wouldn't take away from my quality of life at all.

well I wouldn't do it because I run track and one day hope to take that somewhere. I know I probably won't make a billion bucks doing it, but it's for the love of the sport :)

its a tempting offer, especially so when you consider that nowadays fake legs have become so realistic that when you see a person with one you may not even notice, but ultimately I think I would have to pass.

That's what I was thinking. Usually, it's something like both legs and an arm. But just a leg? I'd cut it off myself.

Nah. As unattractive as I think it is, I'll keep my leg. Funnily enough though, if I was asked to sell my soul for a billion dollars then I might actually do it.

i guess if i had to i wouldn't really have a choice, now would i? :P

but if i could CHOOSE then yeah probably, with a billion dollars i could get something just as good as a leg, or better, like a rocket.

HELL YES!

A billion dollars is more than enough to buy myself the finest and most badass robotic leg that money can buy.

And then I'd STILL have enough money left over to live like a king for the rest of my life.

It'd be worth it to just be able to live like a king and not have any financial worries. and I don't know how living the good life could get old to you, but if you say so.

I'm honestly shocked at the answers here. You guys would pass up a billion dollars, which could buy you a extremely high quality prosthetic leg, and have hundreds of millions of dollars left over?

Well.. since I am against prostitution, I'd be against this. Also, the high chance of chronic pain for the rest of my life, the loss of freedom to walk anywhere without needing to shop for a ATP, brings a price that cant be counted in dollars. While I know most are just being funny about it, I know all that money wouldnt make me respect myself again. I just couldnt do it.
