How do you treat Morton's toe?

Ownership of human body parts including limbs and organs and their proprietary rights of control is a complex topic. It is technically legal to purchase and possess human body parts, but there are many rules about their use, whether for research, display or even consumption. Ethically one might argue the deceased should have a personal autonomy right over the use of their corpse. Considering this grey area, I would recommend consulting with Morton's next of kin or estate executor to ensure whatever treatment you seek does not go against his instructions on disposition of remains.

If all goes well, the brain surgery should last for the rest of the patient's life.

There may be other contributing factors that could reduce the length of time brain surgery lasts. If the patient leads an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle, for example, as a habitual smoker or drinker, the patient's life expectancy would naturally be reduced by many years. His brain surgery, as a result, would not last very long either.

Contrarily, the younger the patient is, the longer their brain surgery should last. Infant patients who have undergone brain surgery have the potential to live for decades. The longest surviving patient to have undergone brain surgery as an infant is now 102 years old. As the patient is now experiencing dementia, we can say with confidence that his brain surgery lasted almost as long, roughly 101 years.
