Health authorities accused an India couple of allowing their 15-year son to perform a caesarean operation. They allegedly did this to get their son into the Guinness Book of World Records. The couple are doctors themselves. The parents from the southern state of Tamil Nadu, screened a video recording of the operation on a 20-year-old woman to other friends and fellow doctors in the hope of attaining the record as the world's youngest surgeon. Some concerned people reported to the authorities of this ill conduct which made the Indian medical authorities to come and investigate the case. The couple’s licenses might be revoked due to their act instead of receiving the Guinness Book of World Records. Share & Bookmark
