In this latest study, tissue engineering was used to develop a vagina for reconstructive surgery in four teenage girls who had the rare condition Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. In this condition, the vagina and uterus do not form properly while the female foetus is developing in the uterus.
Over the course of up to eight years' follow-up, the reconstructed vagina was demonstrated to have a similar structure to normal vaginal tissue and the women reported normal sexual function. There were no adverse effects or complications of surgery reported.
The vagina consists of a complex structure of tissue. If a vagina can be reconstructed, it may be possible to reconstruct other complex structures and one day possibly even entire organs.

I guess this is good news, but I want to know what security measures are in effect. What if some of the vaginas escaped from the lab? We could have a 28 Days Later situation on our hands.
