The baby was castrated, and surgeons fashioned a kind of vagina out of the remaining tissue. When she grew older, hormone treatments would complete the transformation from boy to girl."

CLEVELAND, October 20, 1998 -- A 3-week-old boy died while doctors were trying to fix a problem with his circumcision.
A pediatrician noticed the circumcision performed on Dustin Evans two weeks ago wasn't healing properly and the urethra was blocked.
