Someday, every piece of a person will be replaceable

In the past half decade, medical science has made tremendous advances in reproductive organ transplant techniques. In the span of just four years, we’ve seen the first successful penile transplant, the first child born from a transplanted uterus, and as of Monday, the world’s first full male genital transplant surgery. During the 14 hour marathon operation, a team of doctors from Johns Hopkins University grafted the penis and scrotum from a donor cadaver onto a US military member who had had his own genitals destroyed during his service in Afghanistan.
