"Tu amputes quelqu'un" si tu es le médecin et qu'il faut couper.
"Tu t'ampute une jambe" si tu as pas le choix et que tu es seul sur une île.
Both exist, depends who cut.

I am cutting myself off from eating fries <=> j'arrête de manger des frites

[boreal river]

ahhh okay thank you guys both i understand better

[left horizon]

Amputer is medical word most of the time

[shadow adder]

s'amputer doesn't really exist, but could still happen because you can use "amputer" transitively
"amputer [quelqu'un]" is "to cut [someone]'s limb"
so if someone is cutting their own member, you can use this verb reflexively

[boreal river]

their own member?

wdym

their own body part?

[shadow adder]

also yeah it usually describes the medical procedure

[boreal river]

yeah similar to English, honestly amputate really just is to cut off specific parts of the body

[shadow adder]
