This worries me. If they can create an artificial penis, the only thing women will need us for is to operate the barbecue grill.

Damaged or diseased?
It seems that if they didn't take care of their original one, we really shouldn't reward them by giving them a new one.

"entirely replaced the organs with penises grown from the animal's own cells"
They put back more than one!??!

This could be good news for some, but I wonder if the experimented-on rabbits will get their revenge, someday, somehow, when we least expect it, BWAHAHAHAHA.
Posted by: Jemmy | May 24, 2006 at 09:39 AM
Indeed, the replacement penises worked like a charm. The rabbits were able to get erections, mate with females, and get females pregnant with normal, healthy pups.
But did anyone interview the rabbits??? Did they relax with a dreamy smile and a cigarette afterward, or look slightly puzzled, shrug, and go back to the carrot patch?
Posted by: Betsy | May 24, 2006 at 09:40 AM
Huh.
Fully Functional? The article states that mama rabbit had pups! Sounds iffy to me...
Posted by: Jaybird | May 24, 2006 at 09:41 AM
Boy it's tough to be a rabbit.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | May 24, 2006 at 09:47 AM
not yet huge... but one suspects it's only a matter of time.

Chianca - Don't forget squishing bugs
Posted by: SquirlCat41 | May 24, 2006 at 09:50 AM
Chianca ~ you don't have to worry about it until they make us foot warmers that work as well as a mans warm body does when our feet are blocks of ice. With that extra blast of warmth that yall get right the moment after you fall asleep that draws our popsicle extremities like a magnet.

Puppytoes, Huge you say? I got yer "penis shaped matrix right here.
Posted by: random thunking | May 24, 2006 at 10:02 AM
HOWever, there's the whole "penis-shaped matrix" thing ...

"The Rabbit Grown Glands" wbagnfarb
Posted by: russell | May 24, 2006 at 10:24 AM
random thinking: and why-oh-why does something like that exist?? because men are just that ambitious and/or hopeful and/or delusional!
Posted by: puppytoes | May 24, 2006 at 10:31 AM
"Indeed, the replacement penises worked like a charm."
Guess that means they'll be putting them on key chains.

Yeah Doc, it seems to be working OK, but I have this urge to hop over to the salad bar all the time.
Posted by: pogo | May 24, 2006 at 10:42 AM
Bringing an entirely new meaning to What's up doc?
Posted by: fivver | May 24, 2006 at 11:00 AM
I think I see where this is going. Sure, they'll use it for something noble now, like reconstruction when pissed off girlfriends have their last word, but just you wait until California gets their hands on this technology. Mark my word, they'll invent a whole new industry out of it, and celebrities (Tom?) will be touting how wonderful it is.
But when it comes to human trials, I'll thankfully be counting myself out.

Story in box to right of main story.
"Study links plastics to small genitals."
Do they think it will help?
Posted by: Glue gun bob | May 24, 2006 at 11:06 AM
"Our goal is eventually to treat infants and adults with birth defects, penis trauma, or penis cancer,"
How but the increase in Bobbitectomies? Or is that what they mean by 'penis trauma' as opposed to 'removal'?
Posted by: KOW | May 24, 2006 at 11:26 AM
"It's now possible to replace a defective, damaged, or diseased penis with a penis grown in a laboratory -- in rabbits."
So, do they have to kill the rabbits to get them out?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | May 24, 2006 at 11:28 AM
Wait a minute - female rabbits have pups? I thought baby rabbits were called bunnies.
No wonder my dog looks at rabbits and gets confused.
Posted by: Aunt Nancy | May 24, 2006 at 01:13 PM
All this time I've had it wrong? It's REALLY "cottontail peter"?
Posted by: obi wan | May 24, 2006 at 02:05 PM
ISIANMTU, but "penis-shaped matrix" anagrams to "tie expands a shrimp."
Posted by: obi wan | May 24, 2006 at 02:16 PM
if it's huge, isn't it science news for females? be honest.

Hum. Theoretically, the production of spares would be possible.
