It's a very interesting case. I'm not sure how I feel. At first thought, it's pretty damn freaky. I'm generally opposed to medically unnecessary operations and treatments.
But medically unnecessary operations happen all the time. The parents are just changing the kid's outside to match the inside. It's a lot like a sex change operation that way.
The part that bugs me is that the parents are making this decision for the child. But when I examine that, it falls away too. Parents should be able to make decisions regarding their children's health.
Emotionally, I don't like it, but when I think about it, I can't tell you what is wrong with it.
