But he never accepted it and always saw himself as a boy. Eventually in adulthood he committed suicide. The experiemental treatment had been performed on a number of other subjects and most of them too commited suicide.

Damn, that was really messed up.
As if "accidentally" removing your penis was not depressing enough, you soon learn after that your parents forced you to live a totally different life.
Life for him must be really ****ed up. I feel sorry for him.
This is why we should never allow circumcision at birth. Everyone should be given the opportunity to choose, wait for him to grow up and decide for himself. Like Religion. oh, wait.
