...titled 'Devil's Advocate Question: Why?' but when the #### dial up timed out for the fourth time I copied it and saved it in notepad and rebooted, when I pasted the text I forgot to change the subject line! :(

Still, I wonder how strong of a case could be made for this type of hormonal therapy under the guise of 'life extending benefits' I mean as a society we have done worse! Look at circumcision (which I do NOT agree with) which is even now still excused as a cancer prevention method! Or as I said before, vacinations...

[does some googling]

On second thought nevermind. The history of various other 'cures' makes it quite clear that as long as children are considered property it will be all too easy to force this kind of hormonal therapy on them "for their own good" and the children will be powerless against it as they have with so many things before.

The case can and will be made, it shouldn't be an act of force.
