Fifteen Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate sent a letter to the National Institutes of Health Tuesday, demanding answers about a study on experimental medical interventions for youth who claim to identify as transgender.
Two of the study participants committed suicide, eleven experienced suicidal ideation, and the drugs participants took will likely sterilize them, the Republicans noted.
“It is sickening that the federal government is preying on young people and using our taxpayer dollars to advance its radical gender ideology,” Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., told The Daily Signal in a statement on the letter, exclusively provided to The Daily Signal. “We are rightfully demanding answers from NIH and we are committed to holding those responsible accountable for this tragic loss of life.”
[Good Lord. Not only should the bureaucrats be canned, the study runners should be sued for malpractice. Apparently they didn’t stop the study even after the two suicides. Plus: It’s interesting and encouraging to see Dr. Rand Paul among the signatories. — Ed]
