In January, the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of a government-funded study on experimental medical interventions for gender-confused youths. The results were alarming: two subjects committed suicide, 11 others experienced suicidal ideation, and the rest are at risk for…
Three hospitals recruited the study’s participants: Boston Children’s Hospital, University of California, San Francisco, and Chicago Lurie Children’s Hospital. The research was directly funded by the National Institutes of Health, which granted the hospital’s researchers $474,444 in a five-year grant.
A group of House Republicans who submitted a letter demanding more information on the study from the NIH put it this way: “It is alarming that vulnerable young people died by suicide while participating in a taxpayer-funded study that will almost certainly inflict devastating physical harm on those who participated,” the letter reads. “Twenty-four participants in this study received cross-sex hormones after puberty suppression or ‘in early puberty’ and are likely sterile as a result.
Chen also neglected to elaborate on the obvious suffering at least 13 of the study’s participants experienced. In their own letter to the NIH this week, Sens. Bill Cassidy and Tommy Tuberville pointed out that the study “does not identify the age of the participants who died or contemplated suicide, nor does it explain what measures, if any, the researchers took to prevent these tragic deaths.”
