Barcelona, Spain, Aug 17, 2009 / 07:46 am
A judge in Barcelona, Spain is set to be the first in the country to decide whether to allow a 16 year-old boy to undergo a sex change operation according to his wishes and with the consent of his parents.
Europa Press reported that Spanish law allows such operations as long as there is parental consent.
The 16 year-old boy has spent the last year undergoing hormonal and psychiatric treatment and doctors have said the boy has no health issues that would pose a problem for a sex change operation.
