As much as "individualism" is espoused these days, we are a social species, and should feel responsible for other people and mindful of our actions should they impinge upon others. But that's another story!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484932664353548135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023590016284058071.post-82923234463214405872012-03-01T16:22:06.964-08:002012-03-01T16:22:06.964-08:00Very interesting post.

Either way the child is not getting a say in what happens and I think its better to defer to medical professionals rather than parents.<br /><br />Adults are more difficult, as people should get a say about what happens to their bodies. But if the decision they make impacts on other people, why should it be solely their decision?<br /><br />We do similar things elsewhere in society. Think about speed limits, we restrict people's rights to make their own judgements on what is safe because if they get it wrong it can have terrible impacts on the lives of others.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525183825011841224noreply@blogger.com
