Johns Hopkins surgeons perform world's first male genital transplant
&quot;They transplanted from a deceased donor the entire penis&quot;<p>Is there any research on the statistics of people signing up for organ donation, wealth, death rate etc. to objectively measure if people are ... left to die if the resulting organs are more profitable? A macabre thought indeed.<p>&quot;It&#x27;s a real mind-boggling injury to suffer; it is not an easy one to accept,&quot; the recipient says. &quot;When I first woke up, I felt finally more normal … [with] a level of confidence as well. Confidence … like finally I&#x27;m OK now.&quot;<p>^ this is exactly what worries me on the subjects of sex-change, -transplantation etc. : without even any time to recover, time to repeatedly re-assess the new condition, without anonimity (or rather a pseudonym signed by say the government, so that they can prove they actually underwent such an operation, without giving up their identity) how do we know they tell the truth? how can he already be happy without trying his new dick out? or is he really just being happy about <i>officially having a dick again</i> ? how do we prevent people who are fantasizing about a sex change from deciding something they will come to regret, especially if their only source of information is people who 1) did not provably undergo such an operation 2) are no longer anonymous to be able to speak freely how they feel about it?
