Ok folks: New debate item for you...
NEW YORK (CNN) -- It's been a year since the parents of a severely disabled child made public their decision to submit their daughter to a hysterectomy, breast surgery and drugs to keep the girl forever small. Today, the couple tell CNN, they believe they made the right decision -- one that could have a profound impact on the care of disabled children worldwide.
"The 'Ashley treatment' has been successful in every expected way," Ashley's parents told CNN exclusively in a lengthy e-mail interview. "It has potential to help many others like it helped our precious daughter."

What's your thoughts?

When my Dalmatian was in her last two years of life with hip dysplasia, she was a challenge to say the least. So I sort of know what they're going though. The mental and physical toll a disabled family member puts on you is painful but does that justify what the folks did? I can't say yes or no, so I'll leave this up to you to debate.
