Totally amazing what medical folks can do now.

A U.S. serviceman severely injured several years ago in an IED blast in Afghanistan has received the world's first total penis and scrotum transplant, surgeons at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced Monday.

The man, whose identity was not released, is recovering well and expected to regain both urinary and sexual function, Richard Redett, who led the transplant team, said at a Monday telephone news conference.

John Wayne Bobbitt regained full function and he had his sewn back on. Even did a few porn movies. One was called "Frankenpenis". True by the way, as hilarious as that is

I really want to crack a joke about this but given the circumstances that would not be high-principled. Anyway good for the young man and glad to hear some of his physical and emotional sacrifices are being subsided

The patient did not receive testicles from his donor to avoid the ethical issues that might ensue if he later had children, said Damon Cooney, another transplant team member. The testicles would have contained sperm from the recently deceased donor.

WTF!

This is NUTS... really, amazing, but nuts.

WTF!

Yeah WTF???? Its not like Jizz has a long shelf life, even inside the scroto factory. Or was the surgery so successful they expect he will be chasing nurses in a few days?

While this is great news, i don't know how i'd feel walking around with another man's junk attached to me for the rest of my life.

beats the alternative, though.

I wonder if they were careful to color coordinate, and take into account the patient’s religious preference. Plus, size matters. But then, this is not exactly like shopping for new shoes and one might have a limited selection from which to choose.

Brings new meaning to the term 'organ donor'.
