If you had to lose one limb, which one would you lose?

I make intensive use of both my hands about 12 to 20 hours every day. Need those in top working order. I will rely on them until death.
If my legs were in excellent health, probably my right leg. Left leg is the "plant" leg for stability in carrying, kicking, etc. Right leg is the precision leg. If at all possible, I'd choose to to keep at least part of the leg, including the knee joint. That gives maximum benefit for prosthetics.
Tougher choice since, in real life, my left knee was pretty much destroyed when I was mugged a few years back. If I could afford proper surgery & rehab to get that knee back into decent working order, I'd keep the leg. But, if that were not an option, my right leg is generally in better overall health right now and I'd probably favor keeping it.
Grim poll. Reminds me of a movie I saw once where a pimp decided to punish one of his whores. He tells her he's going to cut one of her eyes out, and she has to choose which one, right now, or he'll take both.

All the Finns would give up an arm, I wonder why?

oww, I can ''relate'' ...to the ''destroyed knee'' part, how did yous end up?
--I had surgery on it and proper rehab.
Right knee, broken bones, tore muscles, blood in the knee, pieces of cartilage floating in the blood inside the knee, all the tendons were strecthed and sum of them nearly ripped into pieses.
so, at the moment, my awnser to the poll would be right leg :P but :/ when I was awnsering this, i had no idea I would dislocate my knee cap twice within 3 years.

Such a French thing to say.
Krudda:
I suppose my left leg.
Both hands are used about 20 hours a day, cannot lose either of them, and my right leg is just more precise than my left, though I do tend to put my weight more on my left than my right, but I would rather be more precise than endure longer periods of standing one legged
