Well, I think that a minor should have to be seeking therapy first in order to ensure that they are not just making an instant decision that would end up being a mistake. But adults should be able to do w/e they want. If the policy of the doctor is for them to seek therapy, go ahead. But I do believe that state laws should focus on making sure that minors receive therapy first. Side: Allow them to be them!

Sure why not, it is up to the individual. Those in question would already have the ability to think for themselves and have an opinion on the matter and formulate their own resolve. Those who say they are not old enough to know are stating that they are unable to think for themselves at that age, which is quite the opposite. Side: Allow them to be them!
