    thats kind of amazing that you can just graft one body part onto another while waiting for the correct spot to heal enough to actually have a successful reattachment surgery.

      The ear is about the only thing this really works with. There’s not much special going on with it, it’s just shaped flesh and cartilage. You don’t even need nerves in the ear to use it, since literally everything happens inside your head.

      You couldn’t do this with pretty much anything else really.
