You are missing the point.
Your earlier argument is that it is much simpler early on. This is the case with both of them. If you want to know another difference, though, the appendix has far worse potential issues later on.
This has nothing to do with my question though. The question was "should parents legally have the right to make this choice?"
It has everything to do with your question. Performing an appendectomy on a newborn is much more serious. It would be irresponsible not to factor that in.
