Congratulations, you've made chatting with the doc and nurse as they performed my vascectomy a truly pleasant memory. Like, anyone who meddles with my junk in the future HAD BETTER bring all the scalpels, forceps, and sutures. Drugs and manipulation alone ain't cutting it.

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.

Don't forget that for it to count as true origami, adhesives or fasteners that pierce the skin are also verboten

scientists revolutionising medicine by making a technique to fold living tissues. and you perform surgeries without cutting anything. making them safer and eliminating recovery time. calling it origami surgeries

You: Erm Aktually, that's not technically origami
