Johns Hopkins surgeons perform world's first male genital transplant
Does anyone have an idea as to why the testicles weren't included in the transplant?My best guess is that the testosterone produced wouldn't be "compatible" with the recipient and they would want to avoid an immune system rejection?Additionally, I suppose that if sperm is still being produced, you could effectively impregnate a woman with someone else's DNA. That would be... strange. I can see how that might be unwanted by both parties.
