Australia: An award winning artist called Stelarc from Australia is reported to have grown a third ear on his arm.
He said that the artificially grown ear on his arm was for the sake of art which he loved a lot.
He has also plans to undergoes further surgeries to install a Wi-Fi cum microphone, enabling people at nook and corner of the world to hear to what he hears.
He hopes that in that way he can convince others about what he experiences through his artificially grown ear.
The wonderful third ear of Stelarc which is partly surgical and partly human, was first constructed using a frame made out of a bio-compatible material commonly used in plastic surgery.
When firmly transplanted the same into his arm, the tissue and blood vessels of the artist happened to be morphed with the bio-compatible material.
Thus the ear in his arm started living, feeling and functioning as well as other key parts of his body.
Although the artificial ear can’t hear yet, Stelarc has also plans to use his own stem cells to develop a proper external ear lobe before implanting the Wi-Fi connected microphone.
If properly joined, this microphone can be permanently activated, enabling people across the world to tune in to him 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
According to him, his implanted third ear was meant for people across the world because he wanted other people to hear what he could hear.
