This is quite horrifying. A child has no idea what they are signing up for. Potentially a lifetime of suffering.

Again, the people who shock me are the medical field doing this to anyone, most especially children. They are making a mockery of the concept of "best practice" when they are simply following the emotional wave to fit in. The evidence is non-existent for any durable benefit to these treatments, and the harms are beyond obvious. This is the greatest stain on medical practice I have ever seen, bar absolutely none.

The benefit is that the doctors get to experiment on people or is that too cynical?
