    To the ~33% people who have downvoted this: you’re literally arguing against a person’s right not to have their body receive unnecessary surgical manipulations until they’re old enough to actually consent to it. Babies are not their parents’ property. Let people decide when they’re adults.

      Unfortunately a lot of Americans believe children are the property of their parents. We need a children’s bill of rights.

        The UN already has that, the convention on the rights of a child. Every UN country except the United States has signed.

      Do you think that anyone born with a cleft palate, cleft lip, hemangiomas, craniosynostosis, facial palsy, or any corrective jaw surgeries should be told to wait until 18 when all of these procedures are far less effective and far more difficult to do?
