The recipient of the world's first penile transplant will soon be a father, the South African outlet News24 reported on Thursday. The 21-year-old man recently informed his surgeons from Stellenbosch University and Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town that his girlfriend is pregnant.
The nine-hour operation took place in December of last year, but was not publicly announced until March, since his doctors wanted to see how the patient would recover. Just months after the surgery, the man, who has not been named, reported that he had regained all urinary and sexual functioning with his new penis. Now, his girlfriend's pregnancy confirms its reproductive functioning, Andre van der Merwe, head of Stellenbosch University's division of urology, said in a public lecture, News24 reported.

Wow, well now please hold onto your private parts for this bit of info....
Head transplant patient to speak with surgeons about the proceedure
Yeah and I thought attaching a penis was weird science... We had scientists try to do this in the past, some tried to put monkey and dog heads on humans and vice versa.
Maybe they can and if so, I'm worried about a new crime wave of body snatching

My next question is "how do you lose a penis" to even need a transplant. They usually are firmly attached.
