I think this is the previous thread for reference :

While this adds realism, I agree that it doesn't add much value aside from introducing additional tedium.
Gating it behind "medical training" to identify limbs/organs makes even less sense if realism is the target.
Thinking beyond forensic scenarios as fairly few people have access to it :
1) you lose the comedy value of beating someone up with their own arm in a fight
2) A bombing occurs that kills a crowd of people. A brain is recovered by an engineer but whose brain is it? the antag? an innocent crew? a random monkey caught in the explosion? Introducing doubt here is unnecessary.
3) you get caught in the explosion above, and lose a limb or two. You now cannot find your own limb in a sea of parts (you should really be able to tell your own limb apart). If limb rejection is still a thing, it becomes more problematic if you re-attach someone else's leg/arm and it starts attacking you.
