Serbian surgeon Miroslav Djordjevic explains the dilemma of tissue availability for sex reassignment surgery.

He explains that since there are both male-to-female and female-to-male transitions taking place, it is conceivable to create a tissue bank so that surgically removed penises, testicles, ovaries and uteruses from one set of patients could be surgically grafted onto the other set of patients.

What medical ethical considerations may apply to such a proposal? When should medical ethics curtail the imagination of doctors who see opportunities for new techniques and procedures?
