When it comes to selecting mates, hawkfish keep their options open. The flamboyantly coloured reef dwellers start life as females but can transform into males after maturing. Many marine animals do this, but these fickle fish have a rare trick up their fins: they can change back when the situation suits.

Oh, if gender reassignment were only that easy.
Okay, we at SexFeed have figured out the key to life, the universe and everything. If human beings can evolve to do what the wild hawkfish can do we will all be too interested in doing it to ever start wars, be rotten to each other or otherwise botch things up.

Fascinating articles. Thanks for posting them.
Who knows what discoveries might be made in scientific and medical technology one day. Might genetic secrets be unlocked so that I could have a uterus grown from my own cells and transplanted inside of me? Or change my eye color or hair color?
Or in your case, grow parts you desire from their opposite sex analogues?
Maybe it is the stuff of science fiction, but science fiction sometimes becomes science fact.
Anyway, we can dream.

Certainly would make life easier if I build humans I would have included the ablitity to define your own biology. a limited shapeshifting ablity almost. it would cure cancer an most diseases.
Sadly tho humans weren't designed we evolved an our evolution didn't preempt us begin smart enough to actually know what our bodies are doing.

There are, after all, examples in nature of animals that can change color, usually as a form a camouflage. The chameleon comes to mind, although its not the only one.
The genes are out there in the animal kingdom.
