It's done all the time. Surgeons do it during some types of plastic surgery, on burn victims, skin cancer patients. It'll heal fine, if it's done correctly and doesn't become infected, but that doesn't mean you won't have scarring. It's called skin grafting. Do a search on it, I'm sure you'll find plenty of info.

Yes, and no.
There is a medical treatment which does basically what you are describing and it's called Skin Grafting. It's used for people who have serious burns, or who loose large parts of their skin to illness or other damage. It's a process that has been around since the early 1900's and is now pretty effective and safe.

It's not quite so simple as cutting and pasting. It takes special tools and there are risks of course, but it's not all that unusual.
