The piece was actually a living jacket crafted from mouse embryonic stem cells, fed nutrients through tubes. But after five weeks, it grew too large for its containment flask and had to be killed.

Considering I’d just watched the South Park episode ‘Eek, a Penis’ (available on streaming video) a few minutes before this… Hee..

Burn victims can receive sheets of skin cultured from their own skin cells. The sheets are then grafted over the burned areas of their body.

Why not make people leather jackets?

... that are grafted onto their skin?

Maybe you could market it as an alternative to tattoos. Naah…

That’d be cool because you could get the tattoo without all the pain.

Wait… ok. Yeah. I see your point. Can you imagine going into a mall that had Tattooed Skin Jackets on sale?? YIKES! It would have to look like Ed Gein’s house… and probably smell as bad, too. GROSS!

Ah, but if you make a jacket of your *own* skin, then it’d be perfectly all right.

However, cloned human flesh wouldn’t be considered kosher.
