Belgian doctor grew an ear on a cancer patient's forearm

Your scientists were so focused on whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think about if they should.

Nice

It was a new ear, mind you, since the patient lost theirs.

Oh. Well, that's a perfectly good reason.

Because the food you eat goes into your arm? Lol

A new trend of what?

It's not the inner ear, just the outer ear for a cosmetic procedure. They grew it on the arm just to give it time to live and develop before they put it in place. They do this with fingers too.

Weeeiiirrrdddd
