That picture looks like something right out of a Junji Ito book
Have they not been doing this for a while now?
Yeah, back in ww1 it was new for plastic surgeons at the time to grow skin grafts/cartilage via skin tube connected to the healthy skin to the affected area : https://historyslices.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/skin-graft-pedicle-13703_2.jpg (Kinda disturbing but not really gore) This is pretty much the same idea with growing skin/organs/cartilage on a different part of your body with a transplant. The only difference now is that they are growing it inside the skin, which i guess acts as a layer of defense against outside pathogens.
what we do through science, the developing world does through mutations
