    Here is where we differ: I believe that the very smart people who go to school to study these exact issues for many years, practice for decades, review one another’s work, and spend a lifetime studying the outcomes of the surgeries are in the best place to decide what should and shouldn’t be allowed.

    If an individual, their family, and an entire team of doctors determine that something is safe and advisable, I trust that decision much more than my uneducated feelings.

      Yeah i agree, im not whole sale against it. But you talk of these highly educated people making these decisions. What about all the morally corrupt parts of life where this can, and i bet is, being abused for nefarious reason.

      I just think all major decisions like these should only be made once someone is of age. That way if they were wrong it couldn’t be held against anyone in a future lawsuit./s

        When a decision is made to perform surgery on a minor, it is always because doctors have determined that it is more dangerous to wait.

        I’m not even going to address the completely unfounded claim of some nefarious cabal of doctors.

          Hah oh i didnt say a cabal of nefarious doctors. What do you think of people who later regret going through surgery?

          I just think body modifications should wait till someone is of age, just like tattoos.

          You assume everything is done with the best of intentions. You’re either a kid or just ignorant of how fucked up life is. This is why we also shouldnt allow marriage until someone is of age.
