sad cautionary tale
Quote From: cdndaisyI am quite bothered by the fact that the person from "Focus on the Family" brought up David Reimer. He was a Canadian who, after a horrible accident when he and his brother were being circumsised at the age of 8 months, was left with no sexual organ. A sexologist from John Hopkins, Dr. John Money, convinced his parents to raise him as a girl. Using what happened to this person, David Reimer, was completely inappropriate as it does NOT prove his point. If you want more information on this case you can look David Reimer up by name or use the words "John/Joan case" as this is what Dr. Money called his "experiment" with these poor chilren! I saw the documentary on David. Very sad. His story helped a lot of other people, and that is more then most of us ever do. It proves you cannot tinker with people's lives.
