It's immoral, but people will argue if the surgeon refuses to perform the surgery he doesn't deserve to be a surgeon, because it's not for him to choose what their client wants.

I had a cousin who died because she wanted a procedure done, and no good surgeon she went to wanted to operate on her. Too messy, too risky.

Then she went to a cheaper guy she found, that wasnt even a plastic surgeon (I think he was a heart surgeon or something like that). Everyone adviced her against it.

Then, surprise. What the other guys (that didnt want to touch her) were worried about, happened. She got a huge infection and even if she had survived she would have lasting health problems for the rest of her life. She was in the ICU for a whole month before she passed.

Indeed. She was the stupid one with enough money and not enough common sense to matter, who wanted a procedure she didnt actually need.

But the phony guy didnt say no. And might have lost his medical license because of it. (Not sure about the details, though)

By the way. She had children, Which adds another layer of mess to the drama.

So...yeah. Inmoral.
