This thread is nuts!

Dr. Allday made a crack about putting Mine That Bird's testicles back on the other day on the show. It got me to thinking about testicle transplants. I Googled the subject and found that it has been done with humans and the children subsequently produced by the transplantee were actually those of the donor.

What if this could be done with horses? I mean, theoretically, when a horse like Barbaro goes down, his testicles could be removed before euthanasia and transplanted into a $5,000 claimer -- thus preserving the owner's investment.

I'm sure if this is possible with horses it is still a ways away, but like cloning Secretariat, this type of thing is going to be an option someday, won't it? Just out of curiosity (and in the interest of banter other than "Mine That Bird is a fluke" and "No, he isn't!"), where do industry people stand on this type of Star Trek science?
