It’s incredibly offensive that anybody would even want to try, though. “Old-fashioned browbeating isn’t enough to compel your daughter to obey her natural feminine inclinations? Try screwing with her hormones prenatally! Remember, Mom and Dad, when it comes to enforcing what’s natural, there’s no such thing as going too far.”

I still say it’s all a sting operation to identify evil parents.

Anyway… do groups like the AMA have guidelines about what methods and purposes are acceptable for intervening in fetal development? If so, how binding are they? Surely, if there were some sort of Medical Supreme Court, they would have to rule this Unhippocratic.

Back to evil and scary: I hope that Alice Dreger or Helen Boyd or Dan Savage (or *all three* — how awesome would that be?) can use their visibility to focus our collective outrage in a useful direction.

Write angry blogs? Protest? Call our senators and congress-people and demand legislation to end this Frankenstein pseudo-science?

And cross our fingers that our reproductive rights fare better than our employment, marital, or military service rights?

Sorry if that sounds snarky, but my questions are sincere; how do we get people to care?
