Human fat fueling cars! What a plastic surgeon

BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Chinese medianet) -- A U.S. plastic

surgeon recently lost his license due to a scandal that he used the body fat

taken from his patients to fuel his and his girlfriend's cars, according to

media reports Monday.

Doctor Craig Alan Bittner who lived in Beverly Hills,

California, claims that his intentions were good and he was attempting to help

save the Earth despite having no proof to the claim.

Three specific patients have filed lawsuits claiming

that Bittner took more fat from them than necessary, leaving them disfigured and

deformed. But Bittner claimed that a high majority of his patients specifically

requested that he use their fat to make fuel.

Public health officials from California made an

official statement claiming that the practice was illegal, and that California

law apparently forbids the use of human medical waste to power any types of

vehicles.

Bittner's practice, Beverly Hills Liposculpture, was

closed in November, and California public health department has opened

investigation on the doctor.
