The Board of Medicine must follow the scientific consensus that conversion therapy has no place in medical practice and must be banned.  The guidance document lists several major professional organizations that supporting banning conversion therapy.  Others not listed include American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Nursing, the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, the American Counselling Association, the American Medical Student Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the Clinical Social Work Association, and the American Psychological Association.  Not one medically and scientifically recognized organization supports conversion therapy.  The Board of Medicine must follow the pure scientific and medical agreement -- ban conversion therapy.  To do otherwise would be akin to allowing someone for religious grounds to use Laetrile for cancer therapy.  You must ban conversion therapy.
