Let's say you are lost out in the wilderness, but not so far away from civilization that a rescue party wouldn't have a reasonable chance to find you.
You are lost, and your arm is stuck. You can't move. And it's the arm that you use to write.
Do you cut off your own arm in order to free yourself, or do you risk dying in any assortment of ways while waiting for help that may not come?
Make your choice and explain yourself.
I would wait for help. I don't think I'd be able to cut off my primary arm. I am right handed and can barely use my left hand to hold a fork much less manipulate a saw blade while severing my own appendage.
