There are some children with pituitary disorders or early-onset (precocious) puberty of unknown cause. So they can have a device implanted under the skin of the forearm that secretes hormones to reverse/delay puberty. Now, usually those kids are 6 or 8 yrs old.
I have read, however, that some are advocating the use of this to delay puberty in kids who are allegedly “gender confused” so that they can decide which sex they’d like to be before going thru puberty. Yuck.
I can’t imagine with the way our society is heading (already IS) we won’t have a serious price to pay. It occurred to me that some (sick) parents might want to delay puberty for a ‘star’ athlete or singer whose talent would change dramatically with puberty. Yuck is about it, isn’t it?
Thanks for the info.
Ok. Now I understand.
