the question is: is a skeleton that’s missing pieces still “one skeleton”? And if so, at which point does it become not a skeleton? Because i’m reasonably sure you wouldn’t call a severed foot a skeleton even though it is still arguably “one skeleton” that is just missing a lot of pieces.

i think a skeleton is just multiple bones together that are attached. A pile of bones isn’t a skeleton, it’s a pile of bones

And you’re forgetting that about 1% of the population is pregnant at any given time and has another whole human inside of them.

There are not very many amputees compared to pregnant woman, and babies have a lot more bones that are in your typical limb
