It's much easier to get tissue from testicles than a brain sample. About 10,000 men develop testicular cancer annually in the US. Plenty of test can still be ran on those testicles if the patient consents. Getting a aample of brain tissue usually requires the donor to be dead, and there is a long list of scientists that would loke to stidy brain matter for one reason or another.
Loke To Stidy is my new band name.
Not to mention that gender affirming surgery increases the likelihood that doctors will have access to testicles for research.
I mean, not by a lot but it's a hell of a lot easier to survive donating your testicles to science than it is your brain.
The amount of people who donated theor body to science is overwhelming. So much, that lots of bodies can't be used. Some niche ectomy doesn't increase the samples here.
