Reply to Just Sam's comment Genuinely curious; was removal not an option at birth? All for aesthetics?

Transcript

I'm gonna take a pause and let you really ponder this question and why you think it's appropriate to ask. All for aesthetics? When I had just explained that I have full functionality and dexterity in my left hand. That being said, why would I take away a ligament or my parents at birth completely remove chop off my hand when I have mobility and nerves and I haven't even grown yet? Doesn't really make sense to me to do something that's going to make my life harder way down the road. Unless it's going to truly enhance it, right? So this question is a little bit bold and ignorant.
