OK so this family has done a radical medical procedure, go here for the details, please take time to read this one, ill wait....
Done? Ok so now onto the rant. This peter pan surgery, in my opinion is wonderful! I think it is sparing the parents a life time of dilemmas, and the child a life time of misery. Some people might think this surgical procedure is completely immoral, i say to who? Until you've had one of these children or taken care of one for a good length of time you don't know what it is really like. As the years go by watching them get bigger but never change mentally. You've never had the headache of wiping a 27 year old mans ass because he doesn't know how. If you havn't sung a 30 year old to sleep with Old McDonald because he gets terrified if hes left alone in the dark, if you havn't done any of these then you can't understand.
Now you must also consider my view point on this particular procedure comes from the fact that for the past 7 years i have been working in group homes and with people all over 2 different states that have mild to severe mental disability. I have done the things mentioned above. I have had to help full grown men get changed because they lack the mental comprehension to dress themselves and have virtually no chance of ever improving their own situation. I believe these people did something wonderful, i can only hope that more people will be able to do this in the future.
Now I'm not saying that if you kids a little slow you should stunt them, I think it should only be used in the MOST extreme cases possible such as the ones in the story.
