Calling for the investigation of NIH study

^Investigate Unethical NIH Study
In 2015, the National Institutes of Health awarded a $5.7 million dollar grant to four pediatric
gender clinics. The study’s goal is to "provide essential, evidence-based information on the
physiological and psychosocial impact, as well as safety, of hormone blockers and cross-sex
hormones use in this [pediatric] population.^"

Mid study they changed the age for cross sex hormones from 13 to 8. Yes, 8 year olds!

There is an urgent call to email, phone call, visit all law makers, professional orgs, etc. I am printing and delivering hard copy info sheets to my elected officials and leaving info where other players will take notice.

Look to www.kelseycoalition.org/

It seems self-evident that no one could have given informed consent.

This is just horrific and defies belief that anyone could do this without breaking a long list of laws...

Unfortunately the US has a long history of performing human experiments without informed consent. The Nuremburg Code helped the US perform more ethical human trials/research but cover-ups have always been omnipresent. We don't have to go back to the Tuskegee Studies (1932 - 1972, 40yrs of torturing African American Males on US soil) to see evidence of experiments performed without informed consent by US organizations in the US and abroad.

Forgive my poorly formatted citations - posting from my phone.

I will get the word out in my area - thanks OP for posting about this push to investigate (also for intro to The Kelsey Coalition).
