Can't see the problem myself. Seems an efficient solution to a waste disposal problem. I think medical waste usually gets incinerated anyway (probably at considerable cost), so why not get some use out of it? Even Shakespeare had the idea: "I see the devil will not have me damned, lest the oil that's in me should set Hell on fire"!

Of course it'd be much more efficient to have the patients convert their surplus fat to energy by biking instead of driving, but we don't live in such a perfect world :-)
