Stem cell research has opened the possiblities to many things from regrowing your own livers to growing new bones that a defect left out. What if stem cells could eventually be the final key to that full transition. Ladies doctors could grow us a uterus and overies in the lab, and men how about your own penis.

While I admit that creating a full repoductive system is a bit more complicated than a peice of bone or even a single liver I think the idea has merrit. While the trans men would likely be forgotten I would not be surprised that there is researche being devoted to the female repoductive system since there are many non-trans aplications due to cancer, birth defects, and other reasons.

what do you all think? Is it remotely possible?

Science is amazing and the some of the things the medical field is capable of doing would have been thought of as fantasy just a couple generations ago. However, I am fairly confident that neither I nor anyone else old enough to belong to the forum will be alive to see what you propose occur.

But who know? :)

nor do i expect it. like i said a fully functional repoductive system is far more complex than some of the most recent applications. Just becasue time-travel is theorically possible does not mean human society will ever achive it. However, if i told you 3 or 4 years ago that we have sucessfully regrown a liver you'd would have been shocked. So... one never knows and all I'm stating that there might be a theoretical possiblity. Stem cells are the bassis for all human tissue.
