Pooh-poohed in Entertainment Weekly alongside the cast's liaisons with the dearly departed, it bears mentioning that fecal transplants are actually for real.
Fecal Bacteriotherapy Used To Cure Patients With Clostridium difficile
A bacterium infecting the colon, C. difficile eradicates the healthy bacterial flora that exists in the human gut and sets itself up instead. Symptoms of this switch are bouts of severe abdominal pain, constipation, bloating, and all the other gastrointestinal symptoms you don't want to read about over midmorning breakfast.
Considered by some a sensationalized killer bug and a real threat by others, Clostridium difficile is literally found everywhere and it is deadly. Fecal bacteriotherapy - the fecal transplant - is controversial but it yields results. CBC News Canada explained more than a year ago that in Scandinavia fecal transfusions have become the healthcare standard when dealing with these bacteria.
At the center of the human probiotic infusion is a stool sample from a healthy individual which will be liquefied and transplanted via enema into the suffering patient. Quoting Dr. Tom Louie from Calgary, the procedure is summed up rather simply: "It takes me about an hour and I leave it in there overnight. I'm hoping that some of these normal bugs will come and find a home, and when they find a home it will kick out the C. difficile."

But the religious aspect of this question is not the point of this. I am interested in views on the social judgment of others who are different than the societal standard. Should we judge people by what they have done to their body?
