In recent current events, there have been several bills in the United States and in Canada that propose that the government should be able to remove children with gender dysphoria from households where the parents refuse to allow the child to have hormone therapy.
Several Questions:
Are there any philosophers who have written about how much autonomy should be given to children?
Is it ethical for a parent to allow a child to have this treatment before they are 18 given its irreversible nature?
Is it ethical for the government to disallow parents from choosing whether to proceed with this treatment?
