Some women are asking, as in the women who's lives have been affected by hysterectomy, women who have been involved in women's medical rigths issues, women (like Congresswoman Maloney), and HERS. The problem is with responses (at least publicly) from the medical community like AGOGs, we know nothing. Also, I believe HERS intent is to get women accurately informed. Once that takes place, what women decide as to whether or not to have a hysterectomy is their choice. Under the current practice, women are not provided informed consent, and consequenctly are not truly given a choice. Maybe that's the way AGOG wants to keep it.
