An Artificial What?

A 55 year old Chinese man had surgery to give him an artificial anus. The man lived, from birth, without an anus. He had to manually squeeze his stool out through a 0.5 cm stoma that was cut near his urethra.. The recent surgery has given him normal function. Now there is something we never realized we take for granted.
