Hm, depends on what day you catch me on.
Part of me can think of quite a few advantages to having a fake hand. But that would have to be a few years down the line, I still am harboring some ridiculous hope that I might compete at a national level in MMA some day.

wait, I thought this was your TAX RETURN. You let them get away with 50,000 for A HAND? Was it at War? (I can see where they might do that since service is voluntary in the military here)
I got 10,000 from my workers comp case (got to keep 7900 of it)involving my hands (arms shoulders and neck as well), still going through physical therapy, but I still HAVE my hands.

I agree that 50K is undervalued for the complete loss of a hand.
is it your dominant hand?

It was my dominant hand. At least I can still fucking rock Halo.
The payout is our insurance policy, I'll still be entitled to a disability check month to month as well.
it's 400k if you die, only after 2003 did they add an amputation as a payout. 100 k if you lose more than 1 limb.

So what's the prosthetic thing look like? Is it the standard three-clawed thing?

I'm not really familiar with them at all but I know theres some real hi-tech prosthetics. Some of them I've seen really blow my mind. A few of the ones I've seen actually enhance the ability you have vs. your natural limbs.

I think that's true of some prosthetic legs, but we're not quite there with arms. Finger movements can be pretty complex.

Yeah theres that prosthetic leg that mimics a kangaroo kind of...you can jump to unreal heights, walk, and run @ way higher speeds vs. a natural limb.
