I met this individual on an email Listserv. She told me,

In a body, we use something inert: Titanium//Porcelain. This repair is inspired by that logic.
Brass sutures and rods bring back function and highlight what used to be broken.
“In many cases the judgment that something is irreparable is not straightforward,
and the declaration of irreparability represents the result of struggles over when,
where, and how to use our reparative resources” (Quote: Elizabeth Spelman).
