I'd rather have no legs.
Yes, I could learn how to read/write. But so many of my passions require high aptitude in those regards, so it'd take way too long to get up to speed. I'd also not be able to perform my job.
On the other hand, prosthetics and bionics are taking leaps and bounds. There likely would be little I'd have to give up physically, if I had access to that tech.
