"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?"

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...

I know we all feel the same about this, it just BURNS MY ASS that that our vets even have to realize that there are tax monies out there being used for “gender assignment surgery” or whatever they call it now, when that money could be used for things like your suggestion.
