I have been thinking lately, technology has advanced leaps and bounds in the last 50+ years. Especially in medicine and surgical procedures. We have cloned sheep, grafted ears on arms, and stem cell research will help advance us more. We can transplant hearts, livers, kidney's and recently faces. Why can't we transplant sex organs???
Say there is a man who wants to be a woman and a woman that wants to be a man. Their blood types are a match. Why can't we transplant their sexual organs into each other?? Wouldn't their bodies with the new organs start producing the hormones need to sustain the organs? And with the recent development of being able to switch off SOX9 in female mice to change their gender to male and the soon to be developed opposite for male mice to change their gender to female, wouldn't that assist too???
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this were all possible?? No longer would we just look like the gender we want, but be able to fully function as that gender. Maybe it will happen. Hopefully in my lifetime before I am too old.
