Do-it-yourself surgery

I dunno about you, but I SURE AS HELL would not want to be doing surgery on myself unless its battlefield surgery and I need to dig shrapnel out of my leg. But it seems not everyone is as cautious as me.

Some guy in the US has developed Lasik Eye surgery that you can do yourself at home.

I repeat: you can now operate on your own eyes at home.

I'm really hoping this is a joke website, because I don't know about you, but when I read the four easy steps, it sure looks like a joke! My sister (an optometrist) said that a colleague of hers was sent the site by a patient asking if this was a safe procedure because a friend of the patient had purchased a kit.

I wonder what's next? Home dentistry?
