The "skin" is tissue from the heart muscle, bovine pericardium. This is not unusual. The only drawback is that the person receiving the tissue is no longer acceptable as a bone marrow donor. However, considering the benefits, this trade-off is well worth it. While I can no linger donate marrow, I do grow my hair for Locks of Love, in honor of the woman who first inspired me to become a marrow donor.
