I don’t understand the tone of the thread.
If a soldier got his penis blown off by an IED, wouldn’t we be willing as taxpayers, to pay to have something done for the guy?
This isn’t a case of someone wanting a sex change or enhancement.
This is someone who had cancer, lost his sexual organ because of it, and didn’t feel his sex life should have been over.
Don’t mean to be a buzzkill, but I am embarrassed by the tone here. I know most of us guys get a lot of humor out of seeing things thrown at other guy’s crotches, and a lot of that may just be gallows humor, but this isn’t that.
Exactly. I’m with you.
When I posted this, I figured there would be some smart remarks, but I hadn’t figured that the entire comment thread would consist almost entirely of posters who sounded like they were in junior high school.
Yes IMMIC, their are something like 1600 Vets that are injured in that area and are in the need of successful transplant surgery. I have heard or read at least 2 of these Vets are in the queue for such surgery. If ( and that is a big if ) printing of tissue is making inroads in the medical community, then printing replacement tissue or organs for our Vets is not a bad place to spend medical R & D monies IMHO...
