But the article/interview goes beyond this and suggest a possible solution: Treat kids and adults the same, and (maybe, my guess, not in the interview) even ignore the number of people involved when comparing options. The judge Udo Di Fabio that heads this ethics commission is a very outspoken and smart guy, it will be interesting to see how he approaches these questions and "converts" them into actionable law.
