It's normal and it doesn't make you a terrible person. Everyone handles things in a different fashion. When I was a child I was very squeamish about anything medical related like a deformity or like you, amputees. When I got older, my fear of such things lessened and now I find things like that to be very interesting. I have a variety of eye related phobias and up until recently, sometime last year, I managed to get over my fear of looking at photos of eye related conditions. Slowly immersing yourself into something that scares you is a good way to help overcome that fear. Like when some people who are afraid of heights and flying learn to fly airplanes and thus overcome their fear.
