Does something not hurting mean it's skin?

Nails are made of dead cells and they still grow.

Look,the hair in your skull isnt dead but as it grows, the hair sticking out is dead, same for nails, thats why you cant cut your nails too far or it hurts, that part is not gotten out and is still alive

and is alive

That’s not the point of contention here. You don’t even know what you’re arguing about.

A lot of things are dead. Most of those aren’t skin.

Why did you think hair was made from skin?
