The mother of a severely disabled teenager has asked doctors to give her daughter a hysterectomy to stop her from starting menstruation.
Alison Thorpe says 15-year-old Katie, who has cerebral palsy, “would be confused by periods and they would cause her indignity. By stopping menstruation it’s allowing Katie to enjoy life to the full without the problems menstruation…the mood swings, the tears, the stomach cramps, the pain, the discomfort, the embarrassment.”
Mrs Thorpe said her daughter would not be able to ask for help or even let people know what she was feeling.
So the question is, do you think this should be allowed?
the mother is clearly at her wits end all we can do is pity and empathise
walk a mile in her shoes
