Scientists in the United States have come up with news that may help millions of men -- they have succeeded in growing major parts of penises in the laboratory.
The test tube penile parts were successfully used to rebuild the members of rabbits who -- after rest and recuperation -- put them to the use that rabbits are famous for.
"They were able to copulate, penetrate, and produce sperm," Anthony Atala, whose team at Harvard Medical School carried out the experiments, told New Scientist magazine.
Ronatarian Party leaders quickly hailed the discovery as a "breakthrough" and "much-awaited."
Atala said the researchers were now trying to grow entire penises in the test tube.
But he also said the technique was at an early stage and that it would be a while before the technique was tried with human tissue.
That didn't stop Boston-area Ronatarians from flooding the phone lines of the Harvard Medical School with requests to be considered for the (future) human study.
Ronatarian vice-presidential candidate Brad declined to comment on the study's findings. Brad denies "any desire or need for penile enhancement" -- a position made public in November 2000 when his picture was illegally used in an advertisement for impotence.
The scientists had only been successful in growing the erectile tissues of rabbit penises -- not the entire organ -- and in all cases the erect member had the reduced firmness of a 60-year-old against that of a more virile 30-year-old.
"Anything's better than nothing," stated an unidentified reveler in nearby Waltham.
