The insanity of mandating the acceptance of elective life-changing medical procedures on confused (by definition) individuals is a symptom of a massive spiritual cancer in our society. Much more than the individuals trying to obtain these services (for whom I have sympathy for their extreme confusion and pain), I am horrified by the people in positions of authority (school administrators, parents, and DOCTORS, most especially) who are willing to irreversibly alter these people's lives to support an ideology that has almost no scientific proof of benefit. The medical professionals involved in this assault on people's bodies, in particular, are committing a massive breach of the most important tenet of responsible medicine: the benefits of the intervention must be demonstrably greater (real, solid evidence) than the potential associated harms. They are not even close to meeting this standard.
