I've just about finished reading the book about his life story... given the somewhat apparent happy ending (well as happy as could be), the aforementioned event is rather tragic. Actually, the whole thing is rather disturbing... it should have never been allowed to happen. The things this pour boy was subjected too, all because of someone's pet theory on the nature of gender -- arrogant showmanship should has no place in science.
