- I second the previous caution about questioning the intentions of
- parents making any kind of choice like an implant. Though I missed the
- program, I had heard that friends of ours from Toronto were on the
- program with their daughter. I know that their choice was one made over
- several years of consideration and involvement in their daughter's
- education. (Her father also spent many hours as her hockey team's
- coach).

- Please give parents the benefit of the doubt. Though even children may
- question the results of their parents' decisions, it is another matter
- to suggest that parents intentions were misplaced.
