It would be simpler if it was that way, but language, and scientists, are untameable beasts: "Biologic Grafts for Use in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery: a Contemporary Review" - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33098501/ "Skin Grafts and Biologic...

I agree that that is an absolutely perfect word, I can't conceive how to improve on it. However, that would not satisfy the single property that Grusch needs it to have. As @MapperGuy said above: "Groups like to have control of the...
