    I have a hard time believing that the foot was entirely unaffected by the injury … it’s whatever if it’s your own limb, but I wouldn’t eat someone else’s limb that was amputated due to injury.

      He did state that the limb was healthy, and he could have kept it, but it wasn’t structurally sound enough to take his weight. Hence there wouldn’t have been gangrene or anything like that.

      Gangrene’s kinda nasty, I agree. Come to think of it, it would be like eating severely spoiled meat. There’s a reason doctors cut that stuff out of you.

        It was an elective amputation because he couldn’t walk on it, I didn’t see any mention of gangrene or anything else infectious.

        It was not a case where it was removed for threatening his life like gangrene would have been.
