I came across this article I thought was interesting: Tissue engineers grow penis – with feeling http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3672-tissue-engineers-grow-penis--with-feeling.html (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3672-tissue-engineers-grow-penis--with-feeling.html) Article was from 2003 and was stating that it would be at least 10 years "before a fully-functional tissue engineered penis is grown in the lab and attached to a man or child." I wonder if anyone's still working on that project?

Would be nice to know their status and if they continued to have funding etc.

Seems to be the same person working on it.

Thanks for posting the link. It gives me a bit more hope that something better will come along for bottom surgery.

Oh man oh man I would love to grow one but I'm sure that if and when we get growable penises someone will throw a fit and say ftm's can't have them for x reason. ::)

I was imagining more of a South Park thing with mice with penises on their backs running amok through the streets.
