This is something i%26#039;ve always been curious about.
When we get a wound, our skin naturally heals over said wound. My question is this: If two people had, say, two gashes on their arm, if pushed together for a long period of time would the skin from both bodies grow into each other and connect?|||Your body is generally pretty good at recognising what belongs to it so it will try to expel foreign bodies (eg splinters and the risk of rejection with organ transplantation) but this CAN be overcome with time (eg with sterile piercings and the use of blood matching and anti-rejection drugs in organ transplants). In fact skin grafts are done in medicine today, but they try to use your own skin wherever possible.
So to answer your hypothetical question, yes it%26#039;s possible (more common in burn victims with skin melting onto skin) but there%26#039;d be huge risks involved.|||no they would reject,unless it was a complete match,blood wise
