Well, if Van Gogh can cut his off, this guy can add one. It's art, you cannot criticize it...........

Um.....where’d the third ear come from? "The ear was grown in a lab from cells and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006. "
The 3rd ear has almost no lobe and doesn't look like it's from his own cells, based on this picture.

He must want to be one up on the French performance artist Orlan.
Odd, I tried to print the top picture in the article to show to a friend, but the spot for the photo turned blank.

I saw a documentary on transplants and innovative surgical techniques a few weeks ago.
One segment had a patient that had either their ear cut off...or they were born without one. I cannot remember...but that doesn't matter. The point is...they placed a model of an ear under the guy's arm..just like your picture. After some time....they removed that mould with the patients own skin covering it...and attached it to his head.
The end result was a small scar on his arm...and an ear back on the guy's head.
