[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Scientists have successfully grown penises in a laboratory and say they could be tested on humans within five years.Ummm...That sounds like it may not be suitable for a family publication... The work is being carried out the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, North Carolina. The laboratory grown penises could help men who have suffered a serious injury to the region, had radical surgery for cancer or who have a congenital abnormality. Scientists there are now assessing engineered penises for safety, function and durability, The Guardian reports. Durability's important. And safety. Y'don't want the thing putting somebody's eye out or something... It is hoped the US Food and Drug Administration will give the green light for testing on humans within five years. |
