This is absolutely tragic. Charismatic doctors convinced of their own righteousness are just as evil as charismatic bible thumpers. How do we protect children from people like this making irrevocable decisions on their behalf?

I saw this and felt appalled.

Truly tragic that a doctor's experiment with someone else's life led to a suicide. I fear the lesson hasn't yet been learned.
