The Thai Health Services Department has filed a lawsuit against Pratunam Polyclinic for castrating underage sex change candidates.Officials hope that the legal action will constitute an example and discourage other clinics from providing the service that was made illegal last month when the Council of State ruled that commercial testicle-removal surgery was unlawful unless the procedure was carried out for diagnosed medical reasons.
Thep Vejvisit, owner of Pratunam Polyclinic in Bangkok, admitted operating to remove the testicles of males under 18. Health officials raided his clinic in March after a report it provided the service without parental consent.
