(1) Researchers from the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center announced in May that they had grown a fully functional, artificial penis from a rabbit (using his own genes), which they hoped would lead to future development of a human penis, for men with birth defects, body trauma or cancer.
They've also done sucessful transplants of these home grown organs in mice already, and shown that the mice are able to become sexualy active and even reproduce after they are given the new penises.

I know three people who are desperate for this to get devloped further, and eventualy used in people without fully functioning members, like themselves.
