What about people who have had limbs amputated?
Do teeth count as part of the skeleton? If you've lost teeth do you only have 99% of a skeleton left?
According to this, bones don't start forming until the sixth or seventh week of gestation, so does the fetus technically not have a skeleton before then?
So many questions
Everyone else is failing to count the number of babies (140 million per year) nearly all of whom have 100% complete skeletons and set that against the number of amputations of perhaps a few percentage points across a much smaller number of people annually ("more than 1 million annually").
