I see your point, but they make prosthetics that are pretty damn good now. I see people with prosthetics having an upper leg on myself. Since I have a mild to some days a severe stutter. I wasn’t allowed to join the military due to it being severe enough that it was deemed a safety issue back in 2002. I’ve missed out on countless opportunities because people have just assumed that I’m a “retard” or “stupid” because of my stutter. If you can effectively communicate with your voice; you can build connections which then can build you better opportunities to be more financially successful. That’s why I would give up a limb asap if my stutter would be resolved for good. But maybe in my next life I won’t stutter.
