Making a Pillow Angel.

Salon.com has an interesting article looking at some of the other opinions about the so-called "Ashley Treatment," or surgeries to stunt the growth and remove the breast buds and uterus of a severely impaired girl.

I go back and forth on whether or not I think this is a good thing. I can empathize with the parents' point of view, and their intentions, but then I remember the road to hell and all that. But I do feel better that the issue is getting some debate and that even doctors in the hospital that performed the procedure weren't as gung-ho about it as previously reported.
