i'm assuming the procedure was consensual and not an experiment, so really we should be thanking the lady in question for her pioneering attitude towards an untested procedure, and for helping to advance our knowledge towards a treatment that will ultimately benefit the whole of humanity.

I agree with Use your brain. Same cells for same parts. But, trial and error is how we get it right.

Nobody nose. The whole thing smells fishy.

Could be worse, could have grown in her arm pit.

She obviously just had a bad case of runny nose. It simply ran to her back. Do I have to start solving medical mysteries now?

Interesting. So I could take cells from a certain private area and graft them onto my forehead if I wanted?

Aren't you afraid that nobody will be able to tell the difference?

Interesting story and truly bizarre .... I don't think even Nose-tradamus could have predicted this one!

Sorry sorry I will euthanize myself for making that joke straight away .... :whistle:
