Hello again Paizo. Quick question or two...
Page 79 of the Libris Mortis states that undead grafts are applied to still-living subjects. The only specific requirement about being alive is mentioned under the Graft Flesh feat (Libris Mortis p.27). It states: "...other living creatures or yourself."
Thus my question: Could an undead self-apply an undead graft?
If not, would being a necropolitan (Libris Mortis p. 114) change things? Seeing as necropolitans heal naturally as living creatures do.
Any input would be appreciated. Thank you...

Not having looked at the grafts specifically, I'd say "no". The idea behind the grafts (in general) is to put creatures one step closer to something else. Construct grafts make creatures closer to being a construct. And so on.
However...
To a large degree, a graft is just another way of getting some other magic (or other type) of ability. While a graft may not technically be possible, I don't see why an intelligent person couldn't come up with a way to enchant or enhance something similar onto an undead.
I'd agree that grafts are used to draw the recipient closer to another type of creature. But at the same time, what makes this situation any different than a transplant?
If the subject wasn't a nercropolitan or other naturally healing undead, then I wouldn't allow it as a DM. But that's what makes sense to me...
