$2.4 Million spent testing Receptive Anal Intercourse "Origami" condoms on Rabbits

“Origami condoms” paid for by the U.S. taxpayers were first tested on female rabbits, which were killed after having pieces of silicone inserted in them for five days. - Washington Free Beacon

Daniel Resnic, who received more than $2.4 million to develop his brand of condoms modeled off of Japanese folding paper, and is now being accused of massive fraud, received his first grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a feasibility study in 2006. In 2007, he conducted his first clinical study.

After the initial $212,162 grant, Resnic applied for more funds to develop the “RAI [Receptive Anal Intercourse] Condom” in January 2009.

According to his application, Resnic asked for $731,199 to finance the entire study for his “first of its kind” anal condom on January 8, 2009. The federal government was more generous, and awarded him $828,188 just six months later....More, at the link.
