He's going to need a lot of luck hooking up each donor nerve to its corresponding nerve in the recipient, otherwise he might end up with someone who smells with their fingers, sees with their tongue, or talks through their anus (I know, some people have mastered this skill already, rather flatulently or fluently...).
