Week-old baby undergoes sex change operation

The parents may have made the right decision, I hope for the child's
sake they did but the fact still remains it was not their decision to make, it is
not their life that will be messed up, if they are wrong and the same goes
for someone who thinks they have something to say about my life.

I'm not arguing that.  I'm only saying that they *may* have made the right decision, and not only that, there's a fairly large chance that they *did* make the right decision.

I think most people here that disagree with the action do so on the basis that the choice was removed from the person. You're right that they may be ok with it. But what if they aren't? Why not wait and let the kid develop his/her own identity and then do the surgery based on what fits for them?
