So how does the 10% get chosen? Like if the first 10% were all the people desperately in need of it, that's an easy finger. But if there is a potential that only wealthy people could be effected by that, then the loss of the finger would be meaningless. If it's totally random each time, it's a harder choice since you really aren't helping 10% of the population each time, given that many will already have basic needs met.

FML, I'd have to learn how to type with my toes.
Yeah, it's definitely all ten, although I can see how I would regret that choice from time to time.
Fortunately, robot hands are pretty cool, and I'm sure that if the world were prosperous and they saw somebody with no fingers, they would all chip in to help back out. So it wouldn't be like terrible forever, but it would definitely have its moments where it sucks.
hm... Five fingers.
Ten if you allow me to replace it with new parts
How many % actually lack the above needs?
