“The heroes in all of this for me are the donor, and his family. They saved the lives of many people because they donated the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, skin, corneas, and then the penis.”

Well, since they were on a roll...

We’re all pulling for this guy.

The possibilities are endless.

“Tight? We were as tight as two nuts in a sack.”

When they say penis, I’m guessing a new scrotum is optional equipment, whether it’s printed or donated.
(Huh Andy? Huh huh huh?)
The older you get, you know—that old scroat turns into something like a fruit bat or an elephant’s ear.

Maybe they’ve come up with a way of tightening it up so it isn’t always escaping from your shorts? Botox maybe. Yeah, shots to the scrotum. I’ll learn to live with it.

Or mistaken for chewing gum if you sit at the park bench, in shorts, for too long.

Can they do testicle transplants on GOPers?

...

Why? They already have more than enough courage to stand up to Conservatives.

Now all we need are donors for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.

Once Obama’s gone we’ll have performed a successful a-hole transplant.

has made a full recovery and has regained all function in the newly transplanted organ,

Function perhaps, but what about sensation? A ton of nerve endings were obliterated in the initial removal.

I had a tummy tuck 8 years ago and there are still partially numb areas on my belly.

For you information, that image showed a 3-D printer making a human heart. I am sure heart transplants from 3-D printer derived hearts would revolutionize the world of heart disease. Imagine having the heart of a teenager! You could do things with the energy of your youth.

I can imagine in the future laying out on a 3-D printer table with software designed to incorporate custom preferences. You could opt for a clean slate build-on (for the elderly with ED) which start with the removal of the original equipment and printing on the new. Or, you could opt for an add-on which would use the scaffold of the original equipment for enhancements.

Of course, this technology would be used for the entire human body. You don’t like your face? Get on the table! You want to change your identity! Get on the table and become a blue-eyed, blond haired beauty with customized tats!

For me, I would like more hair on top. Where is that table?

They could make a fortune in DC if they could transplant testicles.
