Lab-grown penises could be the next big thing.
Researchers at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina say they are only five years away from testing bioengineered penises on humans, The Guardian reported.
The new technology would benefit men who have suffered injuries in the area or undergone surgery for cancer, as well as those born with congenital abnormalities.
The scientists hope to get the penises approved by the US Food and Drug Administration within five years, so they can start testing them on human subjects.
So far, theyve only been successful with rabbits.
The rabbit studies were very encouraging, Professor Anthony Atala told The Guardian, but to get approval for humans we need all the safety and quality assurance data, we need to show that the materials arent toxic, and we have to spell out the manufacturing process, step by step.
Since transplanted organs are often rejected by the body, these penises would be constructed with a combination of the patients cells which would be grown in culture for four to six weeks and a donors penis.
The donors organ would be washed clean of all previous cells with a mild detergent of enzymes and then the patients cultured cells would be added to it.
The US Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine is one of the sources of funding for Atalas research and envisions the engineered organs as being a benefit to soldiers who have suffered battlefield injuries.
Our target is to get the organs into patients with injuries or congenital abnormalities, Atala said.

How long until men are scheduling "upgrades"?
I dont understand the fascination with big dicks.
It's not the size,it's how it's the foreplay, and how it's used.
while I do understand the seriousness of the matter (or member as it were) My warped mind can't help but to picture a whole shelf full of peckers waiting to be tested. Kind of gives a whole new meaning to hand job or maybe test dummy.....
Can you play-test-drive it before you buy it?
snicker
lol...
Why would I want two penises? (double the pleasure) ??
lol...It's all about who??
Surely this is a joke, because if it isn't it will certainly be the source of many. Where are they going to get the penises from? People who just died and had signed a will authorizing it? I could just see the words of the Last Will and Testament now: "I bequeth my penis from which I derived so much pleasure to one more needy in that respect than I was." Or how about taking the ones from sex change operations - apparently those didn't give their owners enough pleasure to want to retain them.
That's the way it is meant to be.
Are you guys talking about "one in the pink, and one in the stink"? lol...No,not at all, just kidding around that it may give a guy/gal more pleasure. (wasn't thinking of the positioning factor)
The Weenie dogs of the world are really going to be pissed.
What can I say, I'm having a difficult time typing at the moment.
BOL !!
Okay, this is the time and place for a joke. It is NOT racist, and if anything would be a positive view of African Americans (I'm trying hard to be PC here, which is not easy for me).
A little white guy is standing at a urinal and a big black guy races in to stand at the next urinal, yanks out his sausage, and says "Whew, I just made it!". The white guy looks and replies "Geez, could you make one like that for me in white?"
ROFL !!!
They're cock sure of the viability of these and will contract with WANG instruments to mass seduce them.
"And unlike vibrators," said one researcher, "these won't chip your teeth."
Those wishing to order one (or more) should hang in there.
Stop me when you've had enough (so-to-speak).
Stop! Stop! Instead do a photo-essay on the topic.
A secret photo shoot in a far away outdoor lab, your intrepid reporter came up with the photo of a forest of ''Woody's''...
I wonder if they come in 1 size fits all...
I dare not answer that Nona....
ROFL !!
I wonder if they CUM at all!
If not, they're just for dickin' around.
I think that they could sell the Woody's based on each having a name.
For example. I have a sugar maple. Ha, that's nothing, I have a river birch. Oh you guys are just saplings, I have a redwood.
A conifer like, say
A PINUS erectus.
How 'bout a TWO-LIP Poplar.
A Rubber Tree.
Sweet Gum (Hey, no teeth down there!)
Merry Christmas here's a Yule Log.
And for those who want theirs circumsized find a mohel you know, a
Junipper.
For those who play with themselves
Splinters.
That's it for now. Good night all.
ummm...I have a Dogwood !!
Dogwood? I think Pussy Willow.
This is getting out of hand.
Depends on whether your name is John Holmes or not (or in the case of art imitating life, Dirk Diggler).
Where the hell would you mount the second one? And it seems rather discriminatory that the ladies don't get to test them out also.....
Whistling 'Getting to know you'.
Hard to tell you, one would have to show you.
So, jwc, your palm is a very happy camper?
Dick's Sporting Goods?
What was the guy and his wife's names form Manassas Virginia-she cut his off? No more combing the side of the highway, just head over to Dick's Sporting Goods for a new install.
