Baby born without eyelids
The Cleveland Clinic just delivered a healthy baby boy, but he was born without eyelids. A nurse had to drip saline into his eyes around the clock, otherwise the eyeballs would dry out and he'd be blind. The surgeon was consulted, and said a skin graft would need to be done to give him eyelids, but where on the baby could they get skin thin enough for eyelids.
Suddenly it came to him, why not use the baby's foreskin when he was circumcised.
The operation was performed to a great success. The only complication was that now he's a little c0ck eyed.
