Bullying, basketball and an online firestorm: How B.C. college star Harriette MacKenzie stood up to anti-trans hate — and won

The tooth-in-eye surgery comes to Canada. Surgeons removes a patient's tooth, usually the canine, installing a plastic optical lens inside it, and then implanting the whole thing into the eye. The body doesn't reject the tooth because, well, it's your own tissue.
