After reading the parents website I agree with what they did. I have cared for those who could not care for themselves, and if they had been that way their entire life then this would be really helpful to them and their caretakers.
If I didn't want to have kids I would most likely want a hysterectomy myself to avoid my menses. (Not that you wanted to know that... ) It is way more trouble then it is worth, at least it is to me.
The girl has the mentality of an infant, and I think it would be very disturbing for her to have yearly "well woman" check ups since she doesn't understand. And if she doesn't need the breasts then why wait for a problem? It is much more difficult to remove fully developed breasts then the breast buds (about the size of an almond) they removed.
There is much potential for the "Ashley Treatment" to be abused but I think it is acceptable in this case. Just my two cents.
And it was shocking to read about it at first, but that is only because I knew nothing of the situation.
