But, He Practiced On His Operation Game


Indian authorities are looking into allegations a couple allowed their 15-year-old son to perform surgery on a pregnant woman.

Local media reports say the parents, both medical doctors, showed other doctors a video of their son (Dhileepan Raj) conducting a caesarean section. The doctors say the boy's father told them he wanted to gain a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.

News stories from southern Tamil Nadu state report family members as saying the boy was only assisting his parents. They could lose their licenses in addition to facing criminal charges for allowing their son to operate.

I saw that story and it made me wonder if the woman consented to the boy operating, or assisting, before they started. I'd like to know what she has to say.
