Can it be proven beyond a medical certainty that if he doesn't get the surgery he will commit suicide? Because a 'valid' reason for surgery in prison, especially for a convicted murderer, should be that if a certain operation isn't done, the prisoner will die.
Just as an example, being highly at risk for a heart attack is a valid reason for bypass surgery. Even for an inmate. And the state should be responsible for funding that surgery.
But it seems rather subjective to say that if prisoner x doesn't get GRS, he will commit suicide, if prisoner x is a convicted murderer.
