Imagine being one of the doctors who performed this surgery. Like they had to know how sketchy this was.

I don't want it to just be the money that allowed those people to go through with this, but clearly it is.

I'm sitting here without a medical degree and I see all of the failed technology made by Bootleg Tony Stark and I would never dream of putting one of those things into another living creature. That no oversight committee has stepped in to stop this is a reflection of just how fucked up things are.

Capitalism makes monsters of us all.

Like they had to know how sketchy this was.

"Perhaps you need to find another surgeon for this procedure."

"Doctor, if you do the procedure - I have been authorized to offer you two Tesla Model X, Specials gratis. One for you and one for you husband. In your favorite colors."

"There is no Tesla Model X, Special."

"There is. We do not make that information public. If we sold them - they'd cost approximately $500,000 each."

"Hmm...."

I'm not in the medical field and don't really know how all that certification or licensing works but: I have to imagine this doctor was probably a lot like the guys who trained troops to resist interrogation that they eventually pulled to go work at Abu Gharib.

IE: This was a guy fucking desperate to do mad scientist unconstrained from ethical concerns who fucking leaped at the chance.
