Reply #177: Presumably once someone is old enough to consent to sexual activity

[Warren DeMontague]

that same person is old enough to consent to have their own body surgically altered, and make that decision themselves.

I mean, by my logic, my son is not a dog, or a cat- where you might do something 'for their own good' with no expectation of them being able to contribute a say in the matter at some point down the road. When the time comes that he asks me why this wasn't done to him, I will explain that, from my perspective, his body belongs to him, and the best available evidence didn't show that this was necessary from a medical standpoint.

But, like I said- that's my decision making process, and I would no more expect to foist it on anyone else as I would want them to push theirs on me.
