Dr. Norman Spack, a pediatric endocrinologist at the Boston Children's Hospital, has launched a clinic where he administers hormone-blocking drugs to children as young as seven years of age. These drugs block puberty to prepare the children to have surgery when they are older so they can appear to be the opposite sex.

These children do not need different bodies; they need counseling. Gender Identity Disorder (GID), which these children allegedly experience, is a mental disorder. A GID diagnosis involves someone whose biology and physiology is indisputably male or female, but this person has a desire to be the opposite sex.

In 1966, Johns Hopkins University started performing the nation’s first "sex reassignment" surgery in its Gender Identity Clinic. In 1979 the university hospital stopped performing these surgeries when it was discovered that the patients' well-being did not improve and the procedures were destroying healthy organs. The hospital decided the best treatment was through psychology, focusing on healing the mind.

Since Gender Identity Disorder is purely subjective, it is dangerous and unethical to give drugs to children to block the onset of puberty.riginal Intent: The Courts, the Constitution, and Religion
