I thought I would post something new. I was reading the other day and apparently Stanford has found a way to engineer immune systems to mimic a donor's. This is huge, it means that we can potentially get an entire female reproductive system transplanted and with a bit of the donor's blood combined with stem cell tech, our immune system will not attack it.
Is there a catch? I'm wary of new technologies. There are claims of new technologies being able to do this or that all the time.

Much of the time it's 10 to 20 years from the time they see it in the lab until we can use it. That is except for nuclear fusion which they have been telling us we will have in 20 years since I was a child.

Yeah so there's a few things:

1. The transplants will likely come before the regenerative medicine hits the shelves so to speak.
2. There's going to be a ton of red tape around all of it because it's new and scary.
3. Seeing as much of the world views us as utterly insane for wanting to be the correct sex, there's going to be a debate on how "ethical" it is to treat our medical problems with any of this while they readily treat everyone else.
4. Stem cells can cause tumors if they aren't programmed to stop and tampering with genetics can lead to cancers.

Those come right to mind, I'm sure there's more. What kills me is that this is essentially available right now and personally I'd much rather try transplants or regenerative medicine than SRS.
Trying to take it one day at a time :)
