[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) The age of consent in most of the US is 16, which I think is a reasonable age to allow the decision. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago Well I do respect your opinion; however, teenagers should have more autonomy in terms of their own body. Age of consent should remain just that - the age of consent to sex, not anything else. In addition, I don't think we should rely on arguments grounded on opinions - just as its the case with it matching the age of consent, without further clarification. There are also publications such as WHO which further exemplify the point I'm trying to make. Also, according to this Neuroscience article which is related to gender affirming care: adolescents possess the capabilities required to engage in adult-like cognitive control and decision-making To conclude, the original argument had unclear motives and objectives - of course feedback had enabled to see this problem. Further evidence has been provided to reinforce the position of decision making to not be based on age of consent. Additionally, within research, age of consent has no influence on personal decision making - in terms of your own self. permalink fedilink source parent
