Severely retarded girl undergoes surgery to keep her in childlike state

I'm not quite sure I understand this argument. Doesn't this apply to every woman? So shouldn't we do this to every female to ease the pain they'll feel later in life? Breasts technically aren't needed in this age and time so we should chop them all off to remove the risk of breast cancer?

I think the girl's better off dead, as her state isn't better off than Terri Schavio, but if the parents wish to front the money to take of their child, I'm not opposed to their choice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm curious, would she have enough awareness to observe the changes? I don't really disagree with his conclusion, but I find the argument to be too broad.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
