Iposted this under experimental Strictly speaking it is not experimental because it was done to treat a real patient.

Yeah i've read about this, it's incredible! Where did they take the penis from? Just a donor penis or created from nothing? I think we should contact them.. What do you think about it, Hawk?

This is not a new procedure.  Surgeons perform gender affirming surgery by building male genitalia  for Trans men.  Aka phalloplasty.


"Professor David Ralph at London's University College Hospital has expertise in penile reconstruction and built MacDonald's new penis out of a skin graft from his left arm, The Sun wrote. A tube and a hand pump are said to allow for a "mechanical erection.""

You can google it and see some very realistic penis' that work via an implant.

Here's a surgery describing step 2 of the surgery w photo.  https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&sxsrf=ALeKk01TADO94C5c6KrXap0d9IZwBr2H9g:1596678227482&q=genitalia&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjM9Mb0uYXrAhVJHqwKHVH8B_UQBSgAegQIDBAC

Yeah, it sounded like they genetically engineered somehow growing a penis out of an arm, but it's standard phalloplasty

So it's not a real penis? I thought they took his cells or genes and grew him a new penis lol
