eat your own hand

Modern prosthetics can replace a missing hand; eating your own keeps all harm to yourself and spares a loved one
Eating your own hand affects only yourself; taking a loved one's eye causes them lasting pain and permanent disability
A hand provides substantially more nutritional sustenance than a single eye

eat a loved ones eye

Losing an entire hand is a permanent, life-altering disability; losing one eye is an adjustment most people manage
An eye is a small, easily consumed morsel; eating an entire hand would be slow, painful, and deeply traumatic
A loved one retains their other eye and can still function fully; you would spend a lifetime without a hand
