I have never heard of this. Personally I think it might still be in the realms

of science fiction.

It looks like a blind alley of scientific experimentation.

Even if it were promising, there would be many processes to go through before it

were FDA approved and even more before insurance covered it.

In addition to the problem of tissue rejection, there would be a problem with

regulating the production of testosterone and responding to the signals

generated by the pituitary.

It's really a variation of an old idea, such as the one practiced by this guy:
