What you're suggesting is limiting people's freedom's based on a psychiatric analysis. You can't conceive of how that would actually hinder people's freedom's by allowing another person to determine when you are considered legal? What if the person is corrupt, what if they aren't qualified, what if they have a different view of psychiatry? There are a million other factors that could come in to play that makes it a terrible idea to me. Maturity is indeed very subjective, however age is the most objective identifier we have, therefore we use it. End of story.

I don't hate government. I support certain socialized concepts, but never would I back a system that evaluates when a person becomes legal citizen on an individual basis, especially if it's conducted by another person on the imperfect science of psychiatry. The system we have in place works absolutely fine.
