Split Thread VisionFromFeeling's missing organ test

Would hemispherectomy count as organ removal, or just organ reduction?
 
Are all those 'organs' or parts???

eta,, 'The most effective treatment for early-stage cancer of the pancreas is surgery to remove part, or all, of the pancreas. This is a major operation and is only suitable for people whose cancers are small and have not spread, and who are fit.' from cancertreatment.org.uk

Both have been discussed in the past. Nothing ever came of it (surprise).

Circumcision is not really a missing organ, but if she can detect vasectomies, I don't see how circumcision is off the table. However, she did say she couldn't do vasectomies reliably enough to test even though the total number of vasectomies in her anecdotes matches the total number of missing kidneys.

Breast implants were on her study form. These are definitely not missing organs except when it comes to mastectomies.

Anita can, however, detect worms in the liver which should be helpful.
From her website:

"I once saw small worms in a man's liver. I could not believe it, so I had to look again and again, and always saw them, very clearly. According to my perception they could be contageous to other people only if people don't wash their hands and that the immune system of most healthy individuals would take care of it. Only in very few, the liver smells terribly bad in my perception. I think the smell comes mostly from metal impurities."
 
What a fascinating hole VfF is now digging for herself, because from this new claim, or restatement of an earlier claim - I am not sure -, she is now making a legitimate test so much easier to do.

Since there is a much higher proportion of the population who would be missing tonslils, and/or the appendix, it will now be far easier to put together a group of people missing one/both/none of these parts of the body. And for VfF, it would be easy enough to chuck in a person missing another internal body part just to add a bit of mystery.

So, a simple test of twenty people, missing (or not) one or more internal organs and identifying which one (or more) is much easier.

Maybe only ten people (somebody else needs to do the math). What say, VfF - since you are now about to agree to identify a specific missing organ, and Steak and kidney pie is now off the agenda, 10 or 20 random people missing one organ becomes a piece of pie.

just identify which one is missing, including, of course, controls who are not missing any of the above.

Go for it!

What you are describing is what the IIG was trying to do originally, but VFF could never come up with a list of things she knew she could detect (originally, she nixed the missing kidney idea). This, of course, is fascinating in itself in that she claims a high accuracy rate is what prompted her to investigate this stuff in the first place.

Logistically this test is easier to administer. It's also less of an issue when it comes to the target giving himself away because hopefully everyone is a target.
 
The skin, as we know, is also an organ. Could she detect a flayed person? Or even just a pound of flesh... could she tell if a person is pricked, does he not bleed?

I think it's safe to assume that Shylock was circumsized. . . oh wait, I got confused.

Update to my prediction: if she read my prediction, she'll purposely not do what I said she'd do. So that leaves her the either the same ol' route (claims she succeeded but we have trust her that she did what she claims) or she'll have to say that something came up to prevent her even being able to "test" her powers on this friend of a friend.

However, having read this prediction, she'll have to change her behavior accordingly . . . .
