Today on Powertalk with Lorraine Jacques-White we discussed the growing trend of children being allowed to have a sex change.  In many states lawmakers are considering giving children the freedom to have a sex change as early as the age of 8. Many doctor support this law, and think it will be beneficial for the children and parents.
