Today we have the privilege of hearing from https://cmda.org/jeffrey-barrows-do-ma-ethics/ (Dr. Jeffrey Barrows), Senior Vice President of Bioethics and Public Policy for the Christian Medical & Dental Association (CMDA). In this episode, Dr. Barrows shares his research on transgender children.
As of 2017, about 150,000 teenagers ages 13 to 17 identified as trans. The number of young people seeking clinical services appears to be growing as well. A major clinic in the United Kingdom saw a more than 300 percent increase in new referrals over the past three years. Where should Christians go when studying these issues?
