“My name is Amy, and I love sports. Most of all I love running. I love how simple and straightforward it is: minimum tactics, maximum pure enjoyment. And that is why I want my legs amputated. Oh, no, no, not entirely, mind you! Just below the knee. Because, you know those modern carbon fiber blade prosthetics? They’re much better for running than actual legs, because they were purposely designed for it, not incidentally evolved from random mutations. Of course, I know I won’t just magically run faster simply by putting them on and will have to undergo heavy training even to learn to walk again. That’s why I’m applying to this school”.
