Wannabe Doogie Howser performs operation in India

YAHOO - - NEW DELHI - The 15-year-old son of two doctors successfully performed a filmed Caesarean section birth under his parents' watch in southern India in an apparent attempt to set a record (for the Guinnes Book of World Records) as the youngest surgeon, officials said Thursday. However, Amarilis Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the record book, said in an e-mail response to a question from The Associated Press that the organization doesn't monitor or endorse such feats because it would encourage the practice of "bad medicine."

UB has to call bullshit on the Guinness Book of World Records. Sure it was dangerous and shouldn't be tried but he did break a world record. Maybe a few copy cats try and get their kids to cut open pregos, but isn't that a reasonable risk for entertainment? Look at some of the dumbass world records they are okay with:
Most Female Piercing:

Longest Ear Hair:

Longest Female Nails:

Youngest with most spoons on face:

And what about these dumb medical ones:
Longest Hospital Trolley Duration:

Largest Plate Inserted in Human Skull:

None of these records should be tried, but people are dumb enough to put them in there. Are the people at Guinness really saying the trolley ride is more impressive than this kid? The parents are in big trouble but the woman is gonna live. Like the Gallo Video guy used to say: "FIT 'EM IN THERE!"
