We think of it a little differently but reach the same conclusion. Obviously my current sig disagrees with your statement here, but it is my opinion that the individual child has a right to not have his life chemically or artificially change for what the Founders called "light or transient reasons".

Just like my opinion on seat belt laws. I loathe the whole "Click It Or Ticket" campaigns, and I made that known when they sent me a letter asking for support. No adult should be forced to protect themselves from themselves, but children do have the right to be protected from abusive or negligent parents.

A little off-topic, I know, but the principle is the same.
