Observing our surroundings we cannot fail to notice the ubiquity of animal skin. Animal skin is everywhere and used for a multitude of things like bags, shoes, furniture, etc. The fact that our lovely contoured chair is covered in the skin of a dead animal may be repugnant to some. Bio-furniture is living furniture. In modern times since Descartes, we have been neglectful in interpreting the body as an attached part of our consciousness. Merleau-Ponty documented the symptoms of ‘phantom limb’ in patients who had lost a body part in war. Bio-furniture using skin expansion is questioning the boundaries of existence, it threatens to open new avenues into Bioethics by touching the real existence of ‘Others’.
