The recipient of the world’s first successful penis transplant is set to become a dad after successfully getting his girlfriend pregnant.

The 21-year-old man had his new penis fitted 6 months ago, three years after he lost his own after an infection caused by a botched ceremonial circumcision (fucking hell). Apparently botched adult circumcisions are a common problem in South Africa which lead to around 250 amputations a year.
In order to use the penis which allowed this man to get his girlfriend pregnant, doctors actually had to fashion a new penis for the deceased donor to be buried with, which they did using his own abdominal skin. The good news is that in the future we might not need dick donors because there’s been substantial progress made in creating lab-grown penises out of the recipient’s own cells.
Great news for this guys and obviously HUGE news for the world of medicine. We might never find the cure for cancer or other killer diseases but we’ve managed to transplant entire penises and get them to function properly so that’s something. When you surgically remove a penis off one man’s body and stick it onto another man’s body and that other man then gets his girlfriend pregnant 6 months later, I’d say that’s a resounding success all round.
Blatantly his theme music from now on:
P.S. Thanks for offering, Double Dick Dude.
