- PhasmaFelis 12y agoThe Adam's apple is actually really easy--google "tracheal shave." The visible bump is just cartilage; shaving it down is an outpatient surgery, and the scar is virtually invisible after a couple of months. But yeah, I also thought of transgender applications. Hmm... I'm not sure if the logistics work if we're getting the bodies from head-trauma victims. For one thing, they'll probably go to saving lives first. Even if there's no immediate need and the body won't keep, can you imagine that conversation? "Yes, we have an eligible female body on ice and waiting for you. Be at the hospital in an hour, and plan to spend the next year or four in recovery. Hope you've got really great insurance." But if we get to the point where donor bodies can be cloned from the patient's DNA and grown in vitro, it should be feasible to flip that one chromosome. That would be a hell of a thing.
