Is it possible to add extra organs to boost the human body?
Like a third kidney or extra parts of brain matter (where space is available).

I would not recommend fucking with (1) God’s creation or (2) the result of millions of years of evolution. That said, I have had my wisdom teeth out.
For many additions, you would have to alter the brain itself in order to enable it to control the additional organ.
For example, while humans still have the muscles for it, only few can actually wiggle their ears.
@ragingloli is right. You’d have to modify the brain itself to give it control over the organs. You can’t just pop organs in and hope that they would know what to do on their own.
Nope, you can’t just plug it in,
When you get a kidney transplant, they don’t remove your bad ones. They just find a place for your new one, so you come out with 3 kidneys!
Yes, and I’ve heard of at least one case where a person was given a new heart, but the old one was not removed.
Yet the transplant examples are replacements, not to augment working organs.
Actually, with a kidney transplant, they do kind of “just plug it in”.
They leave in the bad kidneys. And the third (new) one starts working immediately.
My brother got a new kidney this summer
