Doctors seeking approval to transplant dead man’s penis onto trans-identified woman’s groin

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.

So the old saying about I wouldn’t do her with another man’s @!$# becomes a truth.

That reminds me of the football player who dreaded drug tests and bought a “whizzinator” prosthesis which produces a clean sample.

When he whipped it out in the observer’s presence, it was found to belong to an ethnicity other than his own.

Will trans-whatevers have to get on a penis waiting list?

The lyrics at the end of a certain Rolling Stones song “comes” to mind.

All indications are that Bruce Jenner hasn’t donated, yet.

Sounds like those doctors have already traded their big heads for dead little heads.

Do no harm.

I don’t even want to know how they deal with the monthly flow.

It's called a "Radical Hysterectomy."

In my Army unit they had a strange way of rewarding soldiers who were promoted to staff sergeant; immediately placed on first sergeant’s urinalysis observer roster.

Yeah, make E-6, become a “meat gazer”. Gee, thanks, Top.

No problem looking down to see a dead guy’s Richard hanging there? And that is all it would be is a decoration. The doctors are as mentally ill as any potential patient.
