Teenage surgery without parent's consent

[Excited Penguin]

Maybe some facts might not go amiss here. For example, by minor you mean someone who is a few months off 18. The daughter is 17 years old, living her own life and is financially independent. The mother is just being a vindictive cunt in trying to ruin the daughter's life even though she has no contact with her at all. Nor does the mother even want to make any contact with her daughter.

At what point do you stop being a minor? Surely if you are financially independent and functioning as an adult, you are not a minor.

You have the right to be an engaged and responsible parent.  Should you wave that right you have no claim to go on being a vindictive cunt.  Judgement against the mother/parents in this case at least.

This case shows that every case may need to be considered separately.

Considered separately by whom ? That's not an easy can of worms to unopen . Not that I object to it, in principle. I believe we should find better and improve on existing  similar mechanisms of determining and resolving legal matters in more areas than this.
