Ken Kipnis, "Is it a boy or a girl? Intersexuality in the pediatric patient"

Kenneth Kipnis, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hawaii, has been doing ethics work in hospitals since 1983, when he was present following the birth of a child with ambiguous genitalia. He consulted on the inadvisability of "normalizing" surgery for that infant, and later collaborated with Milton Diamond, an international expert on reproductive anatomy, on a co-authored paper on the ethics of pediatric "normalization". The talk describes both his clinical work and the issues raised by such surgery.
