No pueden tener hijos, pero pueden sentir placer, orgasmos y tener sexo sin ningún tipo de peligro.

Cita:Scientists announced today that four women received lab-grown vaginas between 2005 and 2008 ÔÇö and, according to their doctors, all of the patients are doing quite well.

The women, who were between 13 and 18 at the time of the surgery, were all born with a rare genetic condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) ÔÇö a condition that causes about one in 4,500 girls to be born with either an underdeveloped or absent vagina and uterus. The traditional treatment for women with MRKH involves reconstructive surgery or painful dilation procedures. These interventions can be quite traumatic ÔÇö they have a complication rate of 75 percent in pediatric patients ÔÇö so researchers wanted to find a way to avoid them altogether. That's why they set out to engineer vaginas, described in a study published in The Lancet today, that would be compatible with each patient.

The vaginal organs themselves were generated using a combination of cells ÔÇö epithelial cells that line body cavities, as well as muscle cells ÔÇö biopsied from the women's genital areas. Anthony Atala, a urologist at Wake Forest University who conducted the trials, said in a video interview that his team took "a very small piece of tissue from the patient, less than half the size of a postage stamp, and we then teased the cells apart and grew the cells separately." The cells were then expanded and sewn onto a biodegradable scaffold that the researchers had previously shaped into a vagina tailored to each patient. Six weeks later, the women underwent surgery.

edit: no he dicho nada, creía que lo de la noticia se aplicaba a personas transexuales y veo que es para las propias mujeres

Pues a mí me parece bien, por lo que he entendido era por una enfermedad, y los tratamientos que había hasta ahora eran dolorosos y demás. No sé hasta que punto esto no lo será, pero parece un avance, vamos.
