If stitches are meant to fuse your skin together across an open wound, could you then feasibly fuse your skin together with another person's skin?

I think the title says it all. Just got stitches done in my finger which prompted this thought. Is there something inherent in our own skin that will enable it to fuse with itself, or can one's skin just as easily recognize and accept another's? Thanks.

Wouldn't that be a skin graft?  Your body heals much faster with its own skin.  It will attack foreign materials meaning other people's skin as well.  Usually they will grow your skin if you need something that serious.
