Doc there's something wrong with my left arm, I think I might have had a stroke, my left arm doesn't move anymore.

Let me take a look at your arm. We have your brain scans here, everything looks perfectly normal.

What's wrong, why won't my arm move?

We'll I don't want to alarm you but the best course of action is to amputate it.

Amputate? Why?

Well it seems your body is undergoing some kind of revolution.

A revolution?

Yes it seems the cells that comprise you, Carl, are sick and tired of you and demand reform. They demand better management.

Oh goodness no!

In cases like this its best to nip the revolution in the bud in order to send the other cells a message -you know keep them in line.

Maybe we could start off with just a finger.

No your finger will become a martyr and create a rallying cry for all your other cells, you need to take drastic action.

You can take two approaches, you can do it the quick and easy way by just amputate it. But however, if you feel like you can fight it, I would reccomend a political advisor who can help stratagize and help satiate your cells. There is a risk however that you may lose and become replaced.

Be replaced? By who?

By whomever your body and brain come up with... If your body and brain become organized they can shut you out of your senses, you will lose the ability to see feel touch smell taste and hear, you'll be in the dark with nothing to control while your replacement does all the work.
