You are, it seems to me, confusing a current implementation with the
logical essentials. Yes, there would need to be something that
performed an equivalent function to that performed by the hormones. But
it would probably not involve emulating the structure of the molecules.
 That's the wrong leve of abstraction at which to tackle this job.
 Defining the correct level will be one of the major steps towards
actually doing this and making it work properly. It will probably bear
as much of a relationship to SIGHUP as it does to testosterone, however.
