U.S.soldier gets world first penis and scrotum transplant

Information at BBC news
When I first woke up, I felt finally more normal like finally I'm okay now.
That surprised me. I cannot imagine that sentiment when hooked up to a catheter. They must have shown him with a mirror, or felt with his fingers.

The article raises more questions than it answers.

I just now got massively uncomfortable.

I hope to hell it works. The worse our weapons get the better our medicine gets, or
something.

Wait, RAISES more questions? Chip you dog. Wait! Do I just have a dirty mind?

"...finally I'm OK now."

They gave him his life back. Miraculous.

And a great big, "Hooah", to you, sir.

Use them in good health and for many years to come.

It is amazing what medical science can do.

What is also amazing is how they will let little babies die instead of trying to save them like they are doing in Italy again just like Charlie from the UK.

The world is fucked up.

This necessary medical procedure will now be coopted by the trans people and Hillbot! but they're gonna need actual genitalia to transplant so think about that next time you are urged to donate your organs to "science."

Am, you are quick on the uptake. That's why I don't check the donor option on my driver's licence. And if you've ever had surgery or a mole removed, you are conveniently tissue-typed for any rich person going shopping for a kidney for their kid.

By quick on the uptake, I mean that hadn't occurred to me.

Amartel said...

Yeah, I don't trust those scientists with my not exactly dead carcass. I'm over there all blotto on the ventilator after a traumatic incident, and I may recover eventually but they're looking to harvest a lung or a heart or whatever for somebody they actually care about so ... whoopsie, I'm suddenly "dead" and shortly thereafter dead. Strongly opposed to that.

When it comes to phrases that work with the topic and tools at hand "massively uncomfortable" is almost as fitting and doggy good as "quick on the uptake".
