It's called ad absurdum. Carrying the other guys argument past the point where it was intended, in order to hold it up to ridicule.

BS.

You said, "Is making a profit blatantly from the misfortunes of others immoral? I would say Yes."

Now, either you think (1) my doctor is immoral, or (2) you think my illness is not a misfortune.

Which is it?

Nothing absurd here other than the logic of your statement.
