Title: Artificial Penis Research Hops Ahead in Rabbits, Human Tests to Begin
Post by: Buterfly99 on July 08, 2014, 06:21:59 AM
 The study used advanced tissue regrowth techniques to create and endow lab rabbits with fully functional replacement penises and successfully transplant them. Human transplants will come in time.

For some reason this reminds me of those experiments where they were able to grow human ears for transplant on the backs of mice. The mind boggles at the thought of a mouse running around with a 6 inch willy growing on its back!! ;D

I wonder if there could ever be an evolutionary need for that...

Human beings, we are very complex, fluid, versatile, each of one different, unique. It's never black and white, there're Gray tones everywhere, so a need for a challenge, for change?  From erectly disfunction to many other of infinite possibilities....  What will be the benefit to us transgender individuals?  What about if after SRS I want to have my penis back? LOL.. Or an uterus from a donor? It will be possible? Is there a need for that? Absolutely Yes..

I believe Livvykins meant for the mouse (as a joke). There are obvious benefits to growing penises for people, the most obvious being for trans men.

That's correct, but still a minority group.. What about a large population of those genetic male with small penises? New business will come along for the ride, like  in the 60's, a commercial revolution? Perhaps: The manhood makeover: The Implant of the LARGE Penis?  LOVE IT!!!  I want a Uterus...  LOL...

Oh my... can you imagine a uterus growing on the back of a mouse?  Also, the idea of having a penis stuck back on is quite horrific, it took me long enough to get rid of the first one!  The idea of going through everything I have, just to end up with a mouse grown penis replacement is not great... ;)
