I call it the "Frankenstein procedure"! There's a company that is processing dead people's fat and selling it to plastic surgeons who will inject it into your face or buttocks...or anywhere. Wow. This raises a lot of questions. First - the ethics. You or your family donates your organs, expecting that your kidneys, liver, heart, and lungs will help another person live a normal life. But do you expect that your fat will be harvested and used for cosmetic reasons? And do you expect that the fat will enrich the finances of the company that sells it and the plastic surgeons who inject it? I'll be not. And then there's the question of safety - the company can be certain the "donor" didn't have HIV or hepatitis, but they can never be certain the person didn't harbor Mad Cow Disease (Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in humans - same "prion", different animal). And then there's the "repulsion factor" - do you really want someone's dead fat injected into your body? Listen in to Dr. Perry's interview on the Mark Simone show - replayed here - to learn more.
