dont even need to get that complicated, its really not that hard to just have a device that pumps/cycles 'blood' through the removed finger and also keeps it at a nice 98.6

thats what i never understood, Mystique in X-Men, ok, ill give her the voice thing (one would assume she needs to her the voice first though) and ill give her the appearence (she would obvioulsy need at least visual contact with who she changes into) but the whole being able to beat the retinal scan on Prof X's door to cerebral? come on, how does she/her body know how to replicate his retinal patterns. Can she do finger prints? or what about blood. all those things shouldnt be able to be replicated by her body unless she has some dna sample of the person. And wouldnt Xavier be aware that she would have this ability and build in some sort of safeguard against it...
(sorry for the off topic, but it kinda relates, and it totally bugs me cause it makes no sense (even in the world of sci fi there needs to be limits so its believable) )
