A doctor couple in Tamil Nadu face disbarment and potential criminal prosecution for encouraging and filming their 15-year old son perform a Caesarean section on a 20 year woman with the aim of entering him in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest surgeon.

Dr. K. Murugesan who runs a maternity hospital in Manaparai, screened a video of his son, Dhileepan Raj, performing a Caesarean section before the local chapter of the Indian Medical Association.
Dr. Venkatesh Prasad, secretary of the association, said: “We were shocked to see the recording…. He said this was not the first surgery performed by his son and that he had been training him for the last three years.”

State officials and the medical board are initiating proceedings against Murugesan, who remains unremorseful and accuses the medical professionals of being jealous of his son’s accomplishments.
