A plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills is in trouble for modifying his engine to run on liposuctioned fat. Several ex-patients are suing Dr. Craig Bittner because they did not agree to having their excess used for his benefit. Apparently this isn’t the first time something like this has happened or else California wouldn’t already have a law on the books banning people from using human medical waste to power vehicles.

Whatever happened to appreciating the search for alternate fuel sources?
