I don't think it's nearly that black-and-white. The doctor performed a procedure he would have wanted performed on himself in the same (exceedingly desperate) circumstances. He was careful to fully inform the patients of the risks. Above all, he had his patients' welfare at heart; he wasn't doing it for money or fame or even knowledge. What he did may have been illegal, but I don't agree that it was clearly immoral.
