NEW DELHI - The 15-year-old son of two doctors performed a filmed Caesarean section birth under his parents’ watch in southern India in an apparent bid to gain a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest surgeon.

Instead, the boy’s father could be stripped of his licenses and may face criminal charges, officials said Thursday.

Dr. K. Murugesan showed a recording of his son performing a Caesarean section to an Indian Medical Association chapter in the southern state of Tamil Nadu last month, said Dr. Venkatesh Prasad, secretary of the association. The video showed Murugesan anesthetizing the patient.

Patient: Will this surgery make me look like Paris Hilton?
Doctor: Sure.
Asistant: Don't they have a 90% chance of dying?
Doctor: Yeah. But who gives a hoot about the patient? We're gonna be in the guiness book of world records!

I think that was a bad move on their part. They should've contacted Guiness Records before doing it to see if they would qualify and to get some kind of license to do it. He has no official training, very little experience, what if she had died?

If wonder if the woman volunteered, or if she knew the circumstances? If she didn't that's a serious ethical issue that has been breached.
