From what I've read about this, it sounds all good.
Key bit was the doctors being convinced it was in the best interests of the child and that that was why the parents wanted it.

I think you would have to go to some pretty extreme lengths to show this wasn't in the best interests of all involved. It looks like the only controversy over this case comes from slippery-slope doomsayers, and that is usually the camp I find myself in.
Brings up one specific issue that I find interesting. Is her case different because at no point in her life will she ever be an independent human adult? She will never be able to care for herself, so do other people have a more direct stake in her medical decisions? It would certainly seem that way.
I sure hope I fit your definition of consistent, since I am now on record as being ok with abortion, designer babies, and this Peter Pan surgery.
