    I mean, yes, unironically, without any shred of humour.

    if anyone figures out how to do operations without needing cutting, that would undoubtedly deserve a Nobel prize.

    imagine figuring out an enzyme that soften intracell adhesion and let’s you move and shape living skin like play dough, then wait a bit for the cells to fix those bonds.

    Plastic surgery would be trivial.

    Use that as an eye drop put a contact lens with the right shape, congrats, no one needs glasses.

    reconstructive surgery? easy peasy.

    missing a limb? why not slowly reshape and form you skin around a prosthetic, you won’t be able to move it (unless using your cool robotic prosthesis) and now you can have touch sensitivity in your missing limb.

    Absolutely that deserves a Nobel prize.

    although if plastic surgery becomes borderline trivial. I imagine someone getting an appointment to get a vagina, then next week getting a penis or two instead.
