The kit includes a tube of K-Y Jelly and a latex surgical glove. Cornell professor Brian Wansink, winner of the Ig Nobel Nutrition Prize, studied the effect of rigged, bottomless soup bowls on the human appetite. “We hooked up soup bowls with six quarts of tomato soup,” says...

Buzzonetti did not specifically respond to Pavanelli's claim that John Paul needed a tube weeks, not days, before he eventually died...
...cutting off of food and water to patients in a vegetative state even if they would never regain consciousness.
