The Ashley Treatment

That's pretty much how I'm feeling - with the niggling 'isn't this the top to a really slippery slope' type of argument building.

Yes, this child has numerous medical issues where these procedures may help her - but what do the high doses of estrogen do? What does the removal of natural hormones do?

What doors would this open to sterilize those people who may have brain injuries or defects, but aren't as far along as she is?

There's a lot to think about here - unfortunately not all of the answers are pretty.
