You're aware that no one is asking you about what happens in heaven, correct? Could I fairly state that your answer to the question of whether god could or should be merciful and heal amputees wrongly convicted, or return people to their youth, is no.
Not necessarily. The delay of this life is short compared to the next life.

A prison sentence for theft (generally) has an end. Mutilation is for life. A wrongly convicted 25 year old man, under your savage system, is punished for the next 50 - 60 years for a crime he didn’t commit.
What price a hand?

Life behind bars is not "merciful" or "has a better side"; it's halting the inmate's life for years and wasting precious years from it that he could've lived with one hand outside bars.
Freedom; that is. Taking it off is a living hell, even with 2 hands.

Even the devil looks after his own.
Kids are not included in the sentence; one has to be old enough to realize the weight of their action.
Yes. Nine years old. You would chop off the hand of a nine year old girl for stealing a piece of candy.
Try answering a direct question: Have you ever been in prison?
