If children are going to be forced to pay child support as a result of causing any unplanned pregnancies (even if they were victims of rape, statutory or otherwise!), then Yes, it actually does make sense to allow children to legally get sterilized. They could freeze some of their sperm beforehand or, alternatively, reproduce through gametogenesis in the long(er)-run. |
The general rule in our society is that parents get to make medical decisions for their children. Do you think a parent should be permitted to force a child to get sterilized against their own expressed wishes? How about if the child is too young to even understand the situation?
