Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston are seeking approval to perform a first-of-its-kind surgery to attach the penis of a dead man onto a woman who identifies as transgender.
The operation, which hasn't yet been approved, would involve attaching an organ donor's penis to the groin of a biological female. The surgeons are also waiting for a volunteer to be the first test patient.
Federal donor regulations prohibit vascularized composite allografts — tissue harvesting in organ donation of specific body parts such as limbs and genitalia — unless the donor wishes to donate and permission has also been given from the donor's next of kin upon death.
“This would be a quantum leap if you were able to transplant a real penile structure,” said Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, to MedPage Today.
“It’s certainly pushing the boundaries.”
Cetrulo added: “We’re ready to do it, and we could do it pretty soon if we get it approved. I’m hopeful we can do it. It would be super helpful to a lot of [trans-identifying] patients.”
Some young women who seek to physically transition have permanently altered their bodies by getting elective double mastectomies, which are often called "top surgeries" among transgender activists and their allies.
An additional procedure, which is performed less often on transgender-identifying females and is euphemistically referred to as "bottom surgeries" attempts to create makeshift genitalia resembling a biological male. During phalloplasty operations, tissue is surgically removed from the patient's forearm and thigh to construct a pseudo-phallus. These complex operations often involve several follow-up procedures.

Putting an arm where there was an arm previously is one thing. Actually, grafting a donor penis to men who have lost penises through disease or accidents have been performed successfully.
This article talks about attaching a penis to a woman who has never had one before. That would require an order of magnitude of medical advances.
Detachable penis?
Kinda makes you want to rethink your “organ donor” status.
Any male on here could be providing a future private to a transwoman, or to a trans guy who had second thoughts.

Listening since :^)
GMTA!!!
I am impressed. It took me longer than 31 seconds to find the lyrics.
What a cockamamie idea.
Should use Velcro.
I actually have no idea, but would guess a hysterectomy?
Maybe there’s a donor seapping r egistry to be created: those going trans in opposite directions just swap their entire reproductive apparatuses!
Maybe an imported part? I’d guess African imports might be in more demand than Chinese or Indian “after market” parts.
They don’t even have a patient who wants this, they are just inventing new procedures for the perverse.
This is the world we are leaving to our grandkids. And it keeps getting more and more insane.
I think a third grade health class would be a lot more helpful.
Frankenpenis???
