I guess I'll never understand some things.
Like why 18 years would be spent growing rabbit penises in a lab.
 But here, you can read and decided.Lab-grown penis lets rabbits mate like bunnies - Science- msnbc.com

Wow. That's amazing. It's really amazing that they got the penis to work, but also that they used normal cells and not stem cells to do it! It would be amazing if they could make that leap into other organs, like the heart or liver!
And they explained why it was penis' they focused on. That is the guy's specialty, so it only makes sense to use something he knows most about.

 "The work takes scientists closer to making other complex solid organs such as livers using a patient's own cells.... "Atala focused on the penis because he is a pediatric urologist, who has specialized for years in disorders and congenital defects of the bladder and sexual organs. "'That was the inspiration for this work. We are seeing babies born with deficient genitalia all the time. There are no good options,' Atala said. "He is also a specialist in regenerative medicine, which uses the body's own cells to repair damage. In this case, Atala's team used ordinary cells, not the stem cells often used in such research. "
