Just a few days ago a 15 year old boy in Southern India performed a Cesarean section birth under his parents supervision. The boy did this in an attempt to make his way into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the youngest person to ever perform surgery. Instead, the boys parents may be facing charges. Granted his parents are licensed Doctors, however I doubt that there is anything in that license regarding allowing your child to perform surgery under your watch. I was so shocked to hear about this. This is insane. Surgeons go to school for years and years before they can perform surgery. It is outrageous to think someone is doing this when he has only been alive for about the same amount of time he should have to attend school in order to perform surgery. Anyways, let me know your thoughts.
