What a way chill idea. Man that'd be so outrageous. Expensive but way chill.
Would be so good to use it live on stage. It'd look like computer animation
but right there in front of your very eyes.

But BTW. There is no such thing as non-invasive surgery. Surgery by
definition is invasive. And I should know. I've got more holes in my body
now than most people's patch bays. "Stick a plug in me and patch me up. I'm
done!"
