There are plenty of 30 year olds that do not have the maturity to get a tatoo.benganter said:I am amazed at the fact you guys seriously think that a 18 year old is mature enough to make that kind of decision and deal with the new attention it brings. I hope from these comments that you don't have daughters of your own and if you do, you need your head examined!
The problem with this thread is that it relies way too much on emotion and not on fact. The fact is that a person has a right to be secure in their own body, much like abortion. The problem is that it is damn near impossible to stop it, evne if you want to. Solution: Require parental consideration before 18. If the parent is f-ed up too, then there really isn't anything you can do.benganter said:I'm sorry but the body is not developed enough at that age nor is the mind, my view of life was entirely different at 18 then at 21. I don't think you can say with any truth that a 18 year old just out of high school has the right emotional state for that kind of decision!
Wasn't an argument for against the Death Penalty about the fact that the brain isn't mature (grey matter) until around age of 25?benganter said:Forget about whether you belief that its wrong to make it illegal for an 18 year to make that decision, but consider the physical question.

And on an emotional note, my friend is 17, had an adnormally large nose in her opinion, had it redone and she is still substance-abuse free. Just goes to show you that it doesn't make you into a monster. And you can't outlaw such things as facial stuff because of accidents, physical deformities taht have to be changed, etc.

Have you forgotten that everyone has the right to do what they like to their own body. If we're going to play "National Parent" to youths then take away Caffeine, it is addictive and can cause damage to ones body. Why are we such a free nation but (most) Republicans/Conservatives want all these changes to limit our freedoms! I agree (totally) that getting surgery to enhance one's sexual appearance is down-right wrong but if somebody wants their life to be like that then it's their fault not yours, so quit worrying about the decisions they made in their life.. they'll regret it..
I'm not sure if it's required in other states, but in North Carolina, during Health class (taken 9th grade year) it is in the teacher's agenda to talk about things like Surgery and things that people use as a way to enhance sexual appearance.
benganter said:Please refrain from comparing death penalty age with age restrictions on plastic surgery. That is just a bad argument and has no relevance to plastic surgery laws.?
