The big difference is that those decisions are pushed to the parents and not the state. Minors are not fully mentally equipped to make some of the decisions that adults have the right/ability to make.
- sudosysgen 5y agoParents in many Western countries do not have the choice of what their child spends most of their day doing, as well as some medical procedures.
- pessimizer 5y agoParents don't get to decide whether their kids get to vote (or whether they go to school, in most of the west, without having to at least fill out some complicated forms or having to go to court.)
- brodouevencode 5y agoThere are economic reasons for this (most minors aren't mentally fully developed enough to make some life changing decisions such as in voting/medical decisions/etc.)
- ngngngng 5y agoDo you have evidence that most adults are mentally developed enough for this?
