Detransitioner in Oregon Sues Catholic Hospital for Professional Malpractice | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A detransitioner in Oregon is suing Providence Milwaukie Hospital for professional malpractice. She says it happened during so-called gender affirming care. Camille Kiefel says that a plastic surgeon violated her "duty of reasonable care" when performing a double mastectomy for not discussing the procedure's risks. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges the hospital did not obtain proper mental health clearance. This lawsuit comes just as the Vatican this week released a highly anticipated position statement firmly opposing sex-change intervention. Kate O'Beirne Fellow in Catholic Studies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and Director of the Person and Identity Project, Mary Rice-Hasson, joins to share why a Catholic hospital is performing any type of sex-change surgery. Rice-Hasson discusses whether this is an isolated incident or whether Catholic hospitals are performing these surgeries nationwide. She tells us whether there are Church-mandated ethics or policies that Catholic hospitals should be following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
