Well, we actually let kids make choices all the time. We let them pick out their toys, hobbies, sports etc. What exactly makes this choice fundamentally different?
If you say it's because they lose their sexual reproductive capabilities then I can think of other choices kids make that have permanent consequences.
For instance, if a kid wants to be a professional painter when they grow up, they'd spend a large amount of time studying art and doing painting. Once they grow up however maybe they changed their mind and want to be a world professional tennis player instead. But it's too late for that because the necessary opportunity to be a world professional tennis champ has already past. They would have needed to start learning tennis as a kid and then made up their way through years of practice and competition. At best they could just be a really good local player if they started as an adult.
So here you have a choice made at a young age with irreparable consequences.
How is this different than cutting your balls off?
