    Hypothetical Life or Death

    The situation goes something like this...

    A guy has bone cancer in his appendage, or limb. Option 1 is to cut it off, guaranteeing survival and the cancer will not return. Option 2 is a refusal to cut it off, realizing a x% chance that the cancer will dissapear completely, and a y% chance the cancer spreads causing slow and certain death.

    What's the lowest % chance at survival the guy realizes, while still choosing option 2, for a:

    Pinky finger
    Index finger
    Thumb
    Hand at wrist
    Arm at elbow
    Arm at shoulder

    Toe
    Big toe
    Foot at ankle
    Leg at knee
    Leg at groin
    Everything below belt line

    I'd set my line at 5% and chop off whatever was needed to keep below that %, up to a max of one limb. I think you can lead a pretty normal life with one limb missing.

    "Everything below the belt" wouldn't figure, I'd take my chances rather than do that.
