re: Would you lose a foot for $10 mil?

No
My father recently lost his foot and it has been a horrible experience for both he and my mother. He nearly died several times from an infection. He's very fortunate to still be with us.
Their lives will be forever changed and they have had to abandon many of their plans for their senior years.
It sucks and is heartbreaking.

Like I said, I'm shocked at the amount of people who said "no".

Losing a limb would make life much worse. Cool you have $10 million but you have to hobble around all day until you die

Absolutely

Yup

I would have to research how advanced prosthetics are now and where they are expected to be in 5-10 years before deciding but I would lean towards yes based on the little I know of them right now

Damn right I would. Then I'd buy a prosthesis and get over it.

-somebody offers you $10 mil to have your foot surgically amputated. Not like lost in an industrial accident, but a clean cut right above the ankle, performed by a surgeon, no complications.

for the average person, $10 mil will completely change the course of not only their lives, but future generations as well
you now get to move into a better neighborhood, better schools, better networking, your kids get into a private college, they get out and get that better career due to the new networking with rich people, and so on
and all the while if you spend wisely, that $10 mil is more than likely gaining compound interest and is making money for future generations to improve their lot on life

Prosthetics have come a long way. How much does a new foot cost that is essentially the same as a real foot? Tack the cost of that new foot that onto the $10M and I would probably say yes.

Out of curiosity, what exactly can you not do with a prosthetic foot?

your leg is a limb. Your foot is not.

FFS this isn't the 1800s. Having a foot surgically removed by professionals and getting a state of the art prosthetic isn't going to make you hobble around like some fricking geriatric. When clothed a stranger would literally not be able to tell what's happened unless you told them.

Nothing that I can see. I know people that run, fish, golf, weld. Is give up a foot waaaaayyyyyy before a hand.
