when HBC is killed and Henry decides to bring her back to life, why does he use parts from her and justine??

i don't understand the whole need for different body parts. in another post it was suggested to replace rotten parts but all HBC needed was a new heart since she just died??

that was one thing i did get cuz i was thinking "wouldn't he want her to look as normal as possible?? the end product was just disturbing. lol

that was just one part that irked me, same with the first monster, im like did u not think of the end result NO ONE would want to be brought back to life looking like that granted i know he was more obsessed with being able to do it. just not a smart guy lol

Victor (Henry is Victor's friend) uses Justine because that's who the creature had brought to him, as she was 'materials only'. I wondered the same thing; maybe it was easier to put Elizabeth's head on a body with a heart, rather than to just use the heart to put in Elizabeth's body.

As for the hands, maybe he wanted her own hands for sentimental reasons,or so the ring would fit' or maybe they were damaged when she landed on the fire?

But the facial scars, where the heck did those come from? She looked ok, and still had her hair after Victor put the fire on her head out...

well surely he couldnt use a complete body for anyone as that body would have damaged parts and the parts need to be functional
