Researchers Have Engineered Functional Bunny Boners!
Researchers at Wake Forest University's Institute of Regenerative Medicine have been able to produce "fully functional replacement penises" for rabbits from their own body tissue!
Seksi!
And good news too!
The researchers believe the study in which fake rabbit wangs were replicated could be translated to human penises, stating the technology "has considerable potential for patients requiring penile construction," according to the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The bunny boners were constructed from a mix of cells from the rabbits, forming a functional "corpus cavernosa" in which the test rabbits were able to have sex, ejaculate and four bunnies even became baby daddies!
Mazel tov!
The only disconcerting aspect?
According to the study, "all rabbits with bioengineered neocorpora attempted copulation within one minute of introduction."
Let's hope the results aren't the same for humans!

A Worthwhile Cause
It's A Twilight Happy Meal!
that bunny is adorable - I wanna take her home……..
Disgusting! They can't find cures for Cancer but they can find all sorts of help for peens????? Gimme a break:( And why use bunnies besides their obvious penchant for screwing? Because they can't make much noise when these experiments are being done. Nooooo, science should get to work on the really important med problems; men think too much below the waist already.
Re: RobPnMeShouldB – Hey hottie♥ long time ……..
i got rabbits………?
Re: sparkys nemesis – Haha!! I thought I was the only one.
Yes, this was front page news in our hometown paper yesterday (Winston-Salem Journal) but I did't get around to reading the article. WFU is a significant player in the human genome/regeneration of cells science. Someone asked why they are not finding cures for cancer - this same group is growing other "organs" - like bladders, for those who have had bladder cancer, they can literally grow one to from one's cells to replace what would be removed, so this technology is working to help those with cancer as well. Not sure if this is something that would also help someone who has lost ability from, say, prostate cancer, but making sure they can make this work with animals and then apply the science to humans is pretty much the only way to do that. Dr. Atala and the staff there are doing some amazing things.
Re: Long Dong Connery – Re: RobPnMeShouldB – been a long time for a few of us….. you think mario has a rabbit wang?
Re: DeeVee – We already have the technology to replace breasts lost to breast cancer. That's not really a cure though. It doesn't address the underlying problem of mutated cells with the potential to spread through the body and killl the patient. Right?
STOP THE CRUEL DISGUSTING ANIMAL TESTING!!!
Pretty DISGUSTING you are promoting testing on animals.
LOL! That last part was hilarious.

Re: Long Dong Connery –
dingdong..u got rabbitz…?>?
I'll b there in 2 minutez………heheheheheeee♥
Re: SheriMoonFireFly – hey hot stuff!!
GREAT NEWS FOR CHAZ BONO!!!
Re: SheriMoonFireFly – I have one called Moon Bunny!!!!♥
Bike week coming up………???
Re: Hollywood Marilyn – Re: Aries – Go hug a tree, people!! There is only so much they can do in the lab before they have to actually test things. Would you rather they test on you??

Experiments on animals are indispensable to medical research, allowing the development of new procedures and products. Millions of lives have been saved with information gained by testing drugs, vaccines, and surgical and transplantation procedures on animals. Though new methods of research such as computer models and tissue samples are now available, there are reasons to continue animal testing.
.
Human health depends on knowledge gained via experiments on animals. Current research on vaccines for diseases like AIDS and malaria, or studies on regeneration of nerve cells in the spinal cord, would slow or stop, because if research is not performed on animals, the potential subjects must be human.
It's pretty pathetic that we get all upset when testing is being done on a cat or dog or larger mammal. We're forgetting that rabbits suffer just as much as smaller mammals such as hamsters, mice & gerbils. I have my own rabbits & I think this is animal cruelty. Rabbits can't bark or meow or make ANY noise until they have reached the breaking point & then, there's a harsh, piercing scream. By then, its too late. They CAN'T tell you they're sick. You have to read their non-verbal communication from them & pick up on THEIR daily routines & cues in order to figure it out. WFU is flippin pathetic regardless of what their research is.
Re: Cyber-bullies get hit –
Quite frankly, I'd rather them test crap on me than the rabbits.
According to the study, "all rabbits with bioengineered neocorpora attempted copulation within one minute of introduction."
So much for foreplay!
Hey, Perez, I though you were AGAINST animal experimentation? Not when it has to do with sex, huh?
Gives new meaning to the saying "f-ing like rabbits".
CUTE!…………..but thats a big ass bunni….mines wasnt that big…
I just give them myself!
omg…. well, rabbits need 'em too, right?
poor bunny =(
why can't they do this type of weird shit on serial killers and child molesters who are chilling up in jail serving no purpose? seriously.
Bob Dole wants a new peen
Re: LegallyPink – Go for it. Hippies are never missed.
Disgusting. Animal testing is getting even MORE ridiculous. reading these stories is just sad.
hmmmmm….
Re: Cyber-bullies get hit – Certainly they can replace breast tissue with implants. This is replacing the organ with one cloned from one's own cells. For someone facing bladder cancer, knowing that a replacement can be grown and the cancerous bladder removed and replaced with like tissue - tissue that will not have the issue of rejection, can make a huge quality of life issue for cancer patients.
