The technology for this doesn't exist so why wank about it?

    I still don't understand why you are asking the question. What is the end game of such wankery? I don't want to answer the question because it sounds like its leading up to some completely disengenuous gotcha argument.

      Because DUH its not the same as a penis someone was born with. Even if the penis is identical in many ways it was still created in a lab and surgically attached. I'm not sure why anyone would want the answer to this question from someone else. I mean you can call it a penis if you want but its still a transplanted organ. People that get transplanted organs have lifelong medical problems, it'd be a mistake to assume someone with a transplanted liver was exactly the same as a person with their own liver.

      There would be no issues common to current transplant technology from a stem cell grown organ. The organ would be the same organ that it replaced. My stem cells used to grow a liver would make it my liver (or penis).
