Are you allowed to keep an amputated limb if you plan and ask in advance?

    Yes.  That way you (or your ex, depending on which "limb" it is) can hang it over the mantle as a memento.

    My own or somebody else's? My dogs would like lots of bones to chew on.

    This September, I'm getting a shoulder and part of my humerus replaced. Maybe I'll ask the surgeon if I could have what he cuts out.

    The other one was 80% in three months, but most pain was gone. I am looking forward to it. Thanks.

    I have heard of people keeping their tonsils.  I bet you can keep other stuff.

    I hope I don't get castrated.

      If it happens, they make a cute little pouch for the leftovers that your wife can keep in her purse.

    Yep I think they leagally have to let you keep the stuff they cut off you. If I ever have one of my legs amputated I am planing on hollowing it out and making an arrow quiver out of it. Cheers and happy weekend! This post was edited by Nanoose at July 17, 2021 4:27 PM MDT

      (leagally legally)

    It’s still spelled the old fashioned way.

    What do you want for nothing? A rubber biscuit?
