RE: Teenage surgery without parent's consent
November 23, 2016 at 11:14 am
16 years of age is problematic for several reasons. In most states the age of majority is 18, suggesting that a 16 year old is still legally a minor. This would make it exceedingly difficult to contract for the surgery without parent or guardian consent. A parent is responsible for the custody and care of their dependent minors, which includes decisions regarding medical care. Circumventing parental consent for elective surgery, even if the actual surgery is funded by others, presents obvious issues.

Only with true legal and support emancipation would I support a reduction in the age of majority, in which case parental consent is a moot point.
