Teen Eats Fetal Pig Parts On a Dare

Posted by samzenpus on from the could-use-more-salt dept.

A 15-year-old boy proved that there is virtually nothing that a teenager won't eat, when he consumed fetal pig testicles during his biology class, on a dare. The student made $50 for the stunt and won a trip to the hospital, after school officials became concerned about the possible effects consuming formaldehyde soaked testicles might have on a growing young man. "It was just like swallowing a pill," said the boy, who can't be identified because of his age. "It wasn't that bad."

    Way to go, Mom. Natural consequences. Followed by cancer. A candidate for a Darwin Award.

      Indeed. It sounds like he didn't understand the significance of "soaked in formaldehyde." I won't go so far as to blame the teacher (clearly this is just a kid being stupid; it's his own fault), but somebody should have explained to the students that the preservatives used were carcinogenic; it sounds like he just thought it was meat...
