why didn't they just give his brother madara's eyes?
and the manga is getting really interesting imo
Well I had the same thought, that the brothers could just swap eyes.
However this page seems to debunk that
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/386/09/ it indicates that you need something more than just getting another pair of eyes to gain the EMS, presumably taking them against the person's will.
Interestingly this page seems to contradict with this
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/399/04/ saying that Madara's brother was willing in the taking of his eyes although that could be Madara/Tobi casting himself/Madara in a more favorable light.
I can't wait for the next chapter

EDIT: Therefore there are 3 possible conclusions to draw:
1.Tobi/Madara is lying/got the story wrong and the brother was unwilling to give up his eyes, thus activating the EMS.
2.The eyes just need to change hosts and the brothers just never thought of swapping.
3.There are more rules involving the Sharingan only known to Kishimoto.
