Would you let someone cut your hand off if they gave you £300k? How much money would it take?

How much money would you require?

£300k is around $500k

Probably not, it'd hurt sooo much and I'd have to look into a half decent replacement for it I'm not going through life without 2 hands.

Umm, we're talking about a very large amount of money and a lot of persuasive means of making it seem worth it to me. £300k would not cut it.

No.
Well, not for that price.
$1 million... eh, mabey.

Now if cybernetics are released to the public and cost relatively little (I.E. Under $500k), i'll let you have my whole arm.

I lol'd.

I think I'd definitely want enough for a badass techno replacement, and then a hell of a lot of compensation.

Depends, my left or my right?

My left, fuck you. I wouldn't be able to manage without it. Right on the other hand... well, I wouldn't feel as crippled seeing as I don't use it anywhere near as much as my left. Still, would take far more than £300k to take it off. Now, a few million or so...

Probably wouldn't have it done for any amount of money. I think after I had it done I'd regret it every time I looked at my stumpy wrist. And that proves that for me it wouldn't be worth it.

You wouldn't look into means of hand replacement then? =P

It would never really be the same as having your real hand though. I'm not too sure how advanced we are with robotic limbs, but I can't imagine any current ones being brilliant. Plus, a lot would depend on whether there's a pain factor involved. Would you be unconcious when it's done, etc.

I've just realised something, seeing you post.

Right hand's the frigging hand, so I can't lose that either.

Maybe a foot instead?
