Is medical technology advanced to the point where an entire penis can be transplanted? I mean the whole Megilla, penis,testicles scrotum and whatever.
If this is possible, would the DNA passed on be that of the donor or the recipient, or would the DNA gradually change from the donor to recipient?

The DNA in a child comes from the DNA of the egg and sperm that made it. The DNA of sperm comes from the testes the sperm came from. Transplanting testes from one person to another won’t change the genetic material of the testes at all. So the sperm will always be genetically that of whoever the genitals were first attached to.
Or, at least as far as I know
