Consider this scenario and please post your views. Thank you.
An 18 year old girl has a certain disability and her parents are worried because she is too friendly and places enormous trust on strangers. They have suggested to their physician about the possibility of the girl undergoing hysterectomy "just to be safe" as in preventing the girl from being exploited by strangers and possibly getting pregnant.
What do you think about their suggestion?

NO! It might be okay to have her tubes tied, but a radical hysterectomy is ridiculous. It would cause her to have all the symptoms of menopause at the age of 18. HOW CRUEL!!!

Not if she is competent to make her own decisions regarding sex. Is the disability physical and/or mental? Only a psychologist can determine that when/ if the subject of sex is discussed through a competency evaluation and, the individual in questions choices would put them in harms way. Just went through this with my own daughter. Deemed incompetent of making sound choices for themselves is the bridge that must be crossed first before anything can or will take place.

I think that an IUD, or norplant or tubes tied would be much better.
Radical Hysterectomy will cause menopause to set in and then there will be differnt problems to deal with.

well it depends really on her "disability", if she has the ability to love, or have someone love her, and she could physically be able to handle a child, i don't see why they would do that.
