Abstract

In his little book, Voß presents the most important findings of recent outcome studies regarding the treatment effects of intersexes. To this end, he first presents the relevant terminology as well as the medical methods of treatment. Finally, the effects are assessed from the perspective of medical ethics and Voß demands that even medical practice acknowledge humans in their diversity.
