Agree with all the above.

Unsure now, still about this, yet the parents found it easy to make the decision.

I am glad I have not been put in that situation.

In some ways I feel that if they were going to do that proceedure, they should have done it much, much earlier in her life.

Then again, teens in the 60's and 70's who were given hormones to prevent excessive height, may not have had immediate side effects, but what about when they have been through the menopause, or their bone density? A justification to be told no side effects, may be misleading for the future - that is what makes me uncomfortable.

Secondly, if anything was to happen to the parents, and biologically they may die before Ashley, who will care for her then? It would be best if they have extra plans in place also trusted family, friends etc.

It must be so hard in that situation, and can anyone really say they would do anything different if given the same circumstances?

I wish the family love.
