Forced sterilization for disabled girl…
A similar incident yielded heated debate across America when a family in Seattle decided to give a disabled girl a hysterectomy.
Now, half way across the globe, a mother advocates for the same treatment for her 15 year old daughter…
Alison Thorpe said her 15-year-old daughter Katie, who cannot walk or talk, and needs round the clock care, will suffer undue pain, confusion and indignity by the onset of womanhood.
She wants surgeons to carry out a hysterectomy to save her daughter, who she says has no prospect of having a child, from the distress and inconvenience of menstruating.
