This article will probably get a few people angry.

It's about a 9-year-old girl with a mental age of about three months.  Her parents have convinced doctors to surgically alter her to keep her a child forever.

Hmm.  Forced eternal childhood... doesn't sound pretty to me.  Though I suppose at least the girl in the real-life case lacks the ability to understand her situation.

I don't think I would make the same decision, but I can understand why they did so. They are trying to ensure they can always take care of her.
