Would you agree that a cure should be available? Obviously everyone can choose for themselves if they want it cured.

- JohnMakin 2y agoYea, I agree it should be available, but children do not have the right to choose for themselves. This is the typical ethical dilemma that comes up in these arguments. I would readily bring up the example of congenitally deaf people who have options of medical treatment - many, many of them decide to forgo treatment and stay deaf. It would be insane for someone to say it should be treated, like it’s some kind of societal ill - which is frequently how this argument is framed (and would make no sense towards deaf people). It’s a nuanced discussion that needs a lot of nuance and has affected my life personally and people I care about so I am sorry if my tone is emotional.
