Alas the wording of the answer choices and the set up were rushed and unfortunate. I was inspired of course by the "stupid parents" thread and put it together in a rush before going to work.

I really wanted to ask, for you personally, would your moral sense dictate a decisive yes, no or maybe if it were your eleven year old daughter's announced intention.

From the OP:
Quote:Premise: Your child is 11 years old and announces the following intention.


I didn't mean to ask if one thought no one should allow or forbid their daughter's choice, only if one would themselves.
