Question:

When a child is born with six fingers on one hand. Which one generally gets cut off?


Answers:

polydactyl fingers (as they are called) are not usually amputated for any reason unless they are non-functional or causing some other problem. In any case, the functionality and development of the fingers in question would be evaluated, and the least functional among them would be amputated. Usually this would be a pinky-sided finger.
