Not saying whether I agree or disagree with this, just that this is the argument that'll probably be used.
But wouldn't that fall under hemaphrodites, or when a circumcision went wrong (remembering an old Law & Order)?

We're having the same troubles with Blue Cross, with different medications. One of them is Singulair - which helps you breathe? I know it's a really bad habit, but I try to breathe every day, and Blue Cross won't cover the meds. I could go on and on with that one!
