I Dream Electric

so now we have some guy grafting an ear onto his arm [in the name of art, of course]. whilst i am normally open-minded to modern art in all its various disguises, this comes a little too close to ‘the line’ for comfort. at the very least, there’s a question of ethics. should he be wasting surgeons’ time when there are plenty of people who have far more need for it? ok, it has the initial ‘thats wierd’ factor, but after a few moments the feeling fades and i realise i am looking at an ear. on an arm. i am struggling to see the long term benefits. apparently the publicity will be good for people who are missing ears.

oh, and thanks to the bbc for clarifying that “the ear does not function”.
