Does this mean they can grow us a pair?

Saw this article and thought people here would find it interesting. 

Obviously its a bit far off, but it makes you wonder why we don't have proper dick-making skills yet while they're now trying to essentially re-create the more complicated bits of the male reproductive system. 

thoughts?

I think they are on to something.  Since our bone marrow can be converted into sperm (although only creating the x chromosome) why not take some of that along with some skin they mentioned and then somehow incorporate it into to the artifical testicle?   It is potentially a great procedure for many cismen and transmen alike who would want it.

However, for me personally the thought of having an "over-sized Tootsie Roll" as Turek called it, kind of puts me off along with having to recreate it every 70 days.  For now I will just take the saline-filled implant.  Then again, I don't want kids so thats the reason why I wouldn't take it but my mind may change in the future so I say let them go for it.  I've always wanted to say that I have a seed lol.

"Instead it will most closely resemble a cylindrical bag a few inches long, Turek said, creating a final product that looks something like a transparent, over-sized Tootsie Roll."

haha, dont think I'll want that. Maybe it will eventually be able to look and fell real too. But Its not for sure they could put it on someone who never had testicles in the first place.

It would be nice to be able to have children :C
