Man rejects first penis transplant-- utility also questioned

This is one of the most frightening stories I have ever read. The man loses his penis in an accident -- gets a new one in the first ever of its kind surgery. But... "although the operation was a surgical success, surgeons said they had to remove the penis two weeks later. "Because of a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife, the transplanted penis regretfully had to be cut off," Dr Hu said."

Even more disturbing, AND I QUOTE: "...The question is whether it's right to be doing a transplant for what may be seen as cosmetic reasons."

Thank God health insurance companies pay for breast implants after breast cancer in women...
