- GeoAtreides 9mo agoif those are done without the child consent, yes, obviously they violate their body autonomy.
- stogot 9mo agoHave you ever argued in favor of aborting children? That is mutilation without the child’s consent, almost always for non-medical purposes
- GeoAtreides 9mo agoI would answer, but I rather not, publicly, because of HN privacy policy (nonexistent) and handling of personal data (abysmal), and also because is impossible to delete your comments.
- edanm 9mo agoFYI I think you can email dang and ask to delete old posts. Or at least I think he said that once.
- sporkxrocket 9mo agoYou wouldn't fix a child's teeth until well after they can talk. They have much more capacity to consent at that age.
