Freedom of stench
OSLO, Norway, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- A Norwegian court ruled that an Oslo nursing home cannot forcibly bathe the "cave man," a patient reportedly with a Neanderthal standard of personal hygiene.
The 54-year-old man, who was kicked out of student housing at the University of Oslo in the 1970s because of his smell, lived in a cave for a while near the university campus. But his lawyer told Norwegian Broadcasting that his client has a right to make his own decisions.
"He has waited a long time and can now finally decide over his own body," lawyer Nils Nordhus said.
