Performance artist, Stelios Arcadiou (known as Stelarc) has grown an ear on his arm in the name of art. The idea in of itself is pretty unique but I think it was done for shock value. There are people living their lives with physical deformities and birth defects. I don't think it is something to take lightly. All the time and energy that has gone into growing this ear could have been used for someone who really needed it - not for art's sake. And besides, I haven't heard his concept and purpose for doing such a thing. It's not like the extra ear can hear or anything.
