This is insanity. Periods can be stopped through the proper usage of hormones. While a hysterectomy will provide the parents with the option of not having to deal with their daughter's periods, she will be thrust in to surgical menopause. How will a child with a youngster's mentality deal with that process? Hot flashes, mood swings, clammy skin, night sweats, chills, etc. are no picnic.

This is like using a SCUD missile to hunt a rabbit.
