Default Re: Liposuction Doctor Used Fat from Patients to Power His Car

Ultimately this is an ethical issue.
My wife and I debated both pro and con. The con side
comes down to ethics, the pro side favors utility.

Soylent green. Nothing goes to waste. How would you feel
about your barber using your hair to stuff pillows? How would you feel about the same barber using your hair in
his kinky sex fetish? Or your plastic surgeon's hobby of
making lampshades from skin, or reselling said skin to
industry and profiting without cutting you in?

Human waste products are normally incinerated. Is this
another form of incineration? It is a cultural ethical issue.

As such, the medical board would deal with this as an
ethics issue. The laws for handling human waste are strict and explicit. If nothing else, the board could nail him for moral turpitude.
