Ok, so you found a website which regurgitates everything we have been saying. Where is your argument?
WTF?!? Are you really this dense? It specifically contradicts (as do many number of websites I might add, get googling) your incorrect statement, as follows:
Quote:
AIDS, herpes, PIDs, every other sexually transmitted disease-- all of which affect the long term health of the patient --require a parent to be informed before treatment.
As for this:

blah blah value judgement, blah blah, ovarian cancer blah blah
Of course it is a value judgement. Which is exactly why it
is a value judgement, rather than mandatory.
The ovarian cancer example (I know you are running out of good examples, and you are hoping this is your silver bullet), it is a stupid example. A child is not going to feel a stigma or scared about their parents knowing they have it, moreover any child would want their parents to know, so it is a moot point. Sorry for not responding to your moot point earlier. Finally, the disease primarily affects women in their 60s after the menopause. I mean seriously, WTF?

The logic does not stand up to scrutiny, Pat. It is only your stilted sense of propriety which makes you think that a child ever has the right to take an action which has life long and life threatening consequences without even at the very least informing the parent of what she is about to undertake.
Focus on fostering a relaltionship where your child would trust you enough to
want to tell you. That's my advice to you old man.
