Prisoner in agony after sex
experiment

A Romanian man who wanted to celebrate getting
out of jail with a marathon sex session injected
himself with petroleum jelly to enlarge his genitals.

Cosmil Deliu, 25, who was serving a four-year
sentence for theft in the prison in Craiova said he
had heard the jelly was good for sex - but had
misunderstood how to use it.

Prison officers say the man injected himself six
times causing his penis to grow to a length of 20
centimetres and a width of 9 centimetres but his
experiments were noticed when he collapsed in
pain.

Deliu is in hospital in Tirgu Jiu while doctors decide
how to relieve his acute pain.

Boston hospital to sell leftover patient tissue

Updated 9:37 AM ET September 1, 2000

BOSTON (Reuters) - Starting next week, patients at a Boston hospital will be asked to allow leftover
tissue from their surgeries to be sold to genetic researchers around the world.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has agreed to participate in a project with biotech start-up Ardais
Corp. of Lexington, Mass., to use genetic research to find cures to disease, Ardais said in a statement.

Ardais said it hopes eventually to create a massive tissue catalog, allowing researchers to place Internet
orders for tissue samples from patients with the specific diseases they are studying.

Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, also has an agreement with Ardais, which
expects to sign up other medical institutions, the company said.
