Well, scientist do have some perverse sense of priority on what to grow first, though I think they gotta get out of the lab more often...

Its a first step toward growing human penises in a lab, which is good. As far as transplants go I would be happy to accept a second-hand heart or someone else's arm should I need one.
I would not be happy with a used penis. That's something you want to get new and unopened in the original factory packaging.

There is more potential here than just food.

Um, aren't you just going to get two of them? That seems to be the better option, doesn't it?

(ewwwww)

Well, soft tissue has unlimited stretching capacity. That's why phimosis can be cured by stretching, and why people who wear heavy earrings all the time get long earlobes.

So, I'm pretty sure that with stretching any custom appendage could be accomidated.

If I had a nickle for every time I heard this...

I am curious to the other circumstances.

I suspect inserting a foot and a half of meat from between the pelvis and into the abdominal cavity WITH stretching would be dangerous and would take lots of time to prepare for. Inserting said meat without years of stretching would likely result in... dissatisfaction for one party or the other (or both). I also suspect most women are not especially interested in getting a foot and a half long vagina installed (or stretching their existing one out to that length) in order to allow us to indulge our male egos.

Actually, most nerve endings in the penis are in the first 1/3, same for the vagina so shallow strokes can be satasifying. For the most part length doesn't matter for that reason. Now, girth, on the other hand....

As for the potential for bad meat, that is true for any commercial process. Unless you kill it, butcher it, and cook it yourself there is no telling what you're getting. Statistically, you are far more likely to be intentionally poisioned by a home cooked meal than be accidently poisioned by a commercial meal. A little urine in the coffee usually isn't harmfull.

Considering that I cook my own home-cooked meals, that is either a terrifying or reassuring statistic, depending on how you look at it.

It should be reassuring. You probably won't intentionally poision yourself.

That's because you aren't paranoid enough.



Anyway, the big dangers with food aren't foreign objects, pests, or bodily fluids. The big danger is bacteria from undercooked meats and contamination of vegetables with meat bacteria by using unwashed ultinsils and cutting boards used on uncooked meat. This is more probable in home cooked food than in resturants but in resturants one mistake will cause many people to become ill instead of just one or a few. Likewise, bodily fluid contamination (often intentional) and foreign object contamination is more likely in resturants than in home. These are generally more shocking and disgusting but they are also less dangerous than bacteria.

Heavy metal contamination can be a concern because this can happen at a farm and remain undetected. This is why it is important to test farm soil for toxic heavy metals. (marijuna grown in heavy metal rich soil can cause heavy metal toxicity in people who smoke it, for example). Other toxic materials can enter food during growing or processing through accident, mishap, or negligence but it is unlikely.

Then make sure your name doesn't appear as the primary beneficiary on your life insurance.

Based on a random sampling of late-nite infomercials, I'd say those scientists are searching for the holy grail. Seems like one-outa-eight infomercials claims their product can make a penis grow. Ron Popeil has seven ways you can chop it up and cook it.

You want kraut on that dog?
