BOSTON, MA, April 21, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Endocrinologist Norman Spack of the Children’s Hospital Boston (CHB) is continuing to promote the Gender Management Service Clinic, whose services include giving "transgendered" children puberty-delaying drugs so that they can choose the gender of their body.Originally Posted by Nahla
"Unique in the Western hemisphere, the clinic will also care for children and young adults who present as transgendered - those who have no known anatomic or biochemical disorder, yet feel like a member of the opposite sex," stated the Pediatric Views, a publication of the CHB.
"The puberty-blocking drugs work best at the beginning of the pubital process, typically age 10 to 12 for a girl and 12 to 14 for a boy"
Spack admits that the puberty-delaying procedure will likely leave the patient infertile.

CHICAGO - A small but growing number of teens and even younger children who think they were born the wrong sex are getting support from parents and from doctors who give them sex-changing treatments, according to reports in the medical journal Pediatrics.
It's an issue that raises ethical questions, and some experts urge caution in treating children with puberty-blocking drugs and hormones.
An 8-year-old second-grader in Los Angeles is a typical patient. Born a girl, the child announced at 18 months, "I a boy" and has stuck with that belief. The family was shocked but now refers to the child as a boy and is watching for the first signs of puberty to begin treatment, his mother told The Associated Press.
