On a related note, a couple sources suggest that one early Rush luminary, Dr. Nicholas Senn, conducted experiments on himself. He implanted material from a patient's cancerous tumour into his body to prove that cancer is not transmissible, and had an assistant use a rubber tube and bladder to squeeze hydrogen into his intestines through his anus as part of experiments to show that intestinal perforation could be detected in this way.

I wonder what an IRB would say?
