The Senator Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I can just imagine the justification for the opposition... "If we allow this doctor to use existing excised human fat for fuel, what's next?

BillsWatch Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Oh I understand regulation of use of former human parts. Look what happened in NJ with diseased parts being recycled into live people. I do like the last line in article - he closed his practice and moved to South America. I am sure in Argentina he will find lots of patients for his practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
