I was going to get a discussion going about the advantages of getting a
prostate from cadaver but the thought just seems too morbid.

Why not? I do not think much would shake this group up when it comes to
topics like this.
I think, do not know for sure, that the opposite operation would be much
more challenging to do successfully. More variables, and the possible
rejection by the body to contend with. Then we'd have to get it taken
out again if it did not work! Once was enough for me. :) Who knows,
maybe one day.

Is it Walsh who says the prostate causes more trouble than it's worth,
or something like that? One was enough for me. I know dogs have
prostates but there are lots of successful species that do fine without
the damned thing. Take me off the transplant list.

Uhh, why would anyone WANT one?

Dave asked about a prostate transplant.

Dave, you are very sincere so don't ever worry about topics being too
morbid...the guys here are amazing and I'd trust them to be able to deal
with ANYTHING.

Their response about WHY you'd want this is valid.

If I may be so bold as to comment on your thought (and tell me if I'm
way off base)...

I figured that David was talking about having a healthy prostate, full
urinary and sexual function and being cancer free.

Sorta like a guy who didn't have a problem to begin with.

It's a fine thought...but doesn't seem possible.

Best of health,

" figured that David was talking about having a healthy prostate, full

Ron, if you think about how that surgery might be done, you still have
to remove the cancerous gland, and they would probably take the vas
deferens and seminal vesicles as they do now to be safe, so it would
have the same effects as RP on erectile function. You just might have
some ejaculate.

Why would you want a prostate transplant?

Good question. This would be almost (but not quite) like asking for a
tonsil transplant.

Do I get the rest of John Holmes equipment too? I may just go for it.
