If you had to choose between losing both arms or both legs, which would you go for?

Asked by vocalthoughts (370points) January 12th, 2011

A few months ago I stumbled across a man named Nick Vujicic who was born without arms or legs (check him out!). I was amazed to see how well he manages to cope without limbs in comparison to how much people with limbs struggle to do the simplest thing. Understandably, Nick was born in such a way so I guess after 28 years he didn’t have any choice but to adapt & has done so fantastically.

As inspiring as Nick’s story is, I’m not sure how well I’d cope with the loss of either arms or legs.. Let alone both. It’d be pretty difficult to adjust to.

BUT, if I had to choose, I’d rather lose my legs.

Which would you go for? Do you tend to take your limbs for granted?
