Penis transplant patient to become a father


Penis transplant patient to become a father 
A South African man who had the world’s first successful penis transplant is to become a father less than a year after the breakthrough surgery.
Well that's pretty amazing...congrats to Prof Van der Merwe and his operating team for the awesome job!

    It has been done with a womb in the past too (with a successful birth): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-29485996

    I'm sure the Russian head transplant will not be as "easy" as this transplant?

    Wasn't this done before with Mr. Bobbitt? Well it was a reattachment and not a dooner transplant, but I figured it would be the same proceedure.
