You'd be sort of like those biologists who grew a human ear on a mouse.

Grrrr!!!!

They didn't "grow an ear on a mouse". They moulded an ear with a new
cartilage-forming technique. Then they stored it on an
immunosuppressed mouse whilst they grew some more skin over it.

Describing this in terms of, "Dr Frankenstein, the mice are sprouting
ears !" is like claiming that you can turn white deal into cabinetry
timber by slapping it with a coat of something wood-coloured.
