How would you feel if your 15-year old daughter came home to tell you that she had undergone irreversible sterilisation?
Would you go mad? Call the police? Call the government?
Lucky you don't live in Oregon then, where the new Obamacare provisions allow for just that. No parental consent necessary, just sign the form (and if you are having it read out to you by an interpreter, as your English is not too good, then there's a box to check). You can't buy alcohol, can't drive a car, can't marry or even, in some states, have a tattoo. But you can make a decision which will affect you for the rest of your life.

It's not just the UK that's gone bonkers. ::) ::) :(

If they're old enough to have sex, they should be old enough for whatever form of contraception they desire, IMHO
-
imho the type of 15 year old that would sign up to that shouldnt be allowed to reproduce anyway!
Darwin award-esqe.
Harsh.....but fair.

Outrageous though it may appear that an irreversible decision can be made by someone so potentially immature (and the article references "reproductive capability" as being the criteria, so potentially a lot younger), you are probably correct in that it would simply remove the capability to become a "career claimant". :-\
-
Informed consent.
I don't see a problem with that. If in later life children were needed then there are always too many waiting for adoption.

Can't agree with some of these comments. Supposing the boyfriend decides they can't
be arsed afford to buy condoms. 15-year olds can quite easily be led into believing they have met the love of their life and will do ANYTHING to keep them. They go down the sterilisation route. They get dumped. When they reach adulthood in their 20s, and quite capable of being a responsible parent, they will find that their "informed decision! was anything but.
Being old enough to have sex does not mean you're old enough to take adult life-changing decisions.

Are you not allowed to get the morning after pill as long as you are older than 16 in the UK? :-\

Yes, I think so. That I can live with...not the irreversible sterilisation in the US.

Agree with that. 15 is too young to give those kind of decision making abilities to.
-
I just dont care ;D

is STMO really back :o :( :( ;D ;D

Yes I certainly agree and despite all the 'up to date' thinking on social engineering, that practical realisation should be enough for most people to think this a bad idea.
Did the Chinese not try something similar in the recent past?

I was never away. I can be whoever I want to by varying my meds :)

I'm afraid its not a measure Aaron.. you can understand your mistakes even at twice ages.. thats completely wrong.. and those decision makers (capitalists ;D ) are all a bunch of nutters :(
-

My wife's face is the best contraceptive for me :(

They arent.Age of consent in Oregon (as in many U.S. states) is 18.
No such thing as a career claimant in the U.S. their welfare system doesnt allow for such scenarios.We should adopt it imo.
It isnt possible for a 15 year old to make "an informed choice" to be sterilised.Far too young,impressionable and vulnerable at that age.
I would imagine it would be difficult for a woman to get sterilised in this country who is much under 40. :-\
-
If such a situation arose I wouldn't post it up on here. ;D
The never ending bottomless pit of bitch and moan, no end of subject matter there. :)
-
Im guessing its pick on Nickbat week again then ? ::)
Dont see any bitching or moaning.Its simply grown up discussion.,which many of us find enjoyable sometimes. :)
-
i thought i was in gen discussion for a minute ;D ;D
-
maybe OOF should have a bitch and moan section :o :o that would be intertesting to see the stats from that or who the moderators would put in there ::)
-
Just re name gen chat. Pass the rope when your done. ;D
-
As said many times before.If your not interested in a thread,or the type of thread a particular member starts,dont read it.Seemples. ;)
-
What, and burry ones head in the sand? Surely not? :)

There are an awful lot of 15yr olds where a bullet would do far more good than sterilisation. And 'dangle berries' to the namby pamby do-gooders who try to protect them behind being minors. And shoot the parents as well.
-
Up to about 1972/1973........many US states routinely practiced sterilisation on girls and women thought to be "feeble minded"
This was often done against their will. Force would be used if required. :( :(

Shame they stopped.
7bn people in this world, due to climb to 10bn by (I think) 2020 :o, unsustainable.

I think of you (no, not in that way) and chuckle every time I pass the sign for Banbury on the M40 ;D

Maybe male sterilisation is the answer in some of these places. Could have a bloke with two bricks in every McDonalds car park at night. Every male who enters in a "modified" vehicle.. "clomp". :y

Can there be an exemption for those who are willing to go and have the proper (less painful) snip, please? ;D

It's only painful if you catch your thumbs between the bricks. ;)

Being old enough to have sex does not mean you're old enough to take adult life-changing decisions.
It would if we educated our young adults on life, and stopped treating them as children until there mid 20s. I say mid 20s as that is when those who have just left University have to grow up very quickly. This country is still trying its best to keep young adults as children, and that is the problem. Mother nature decides when it is time to have sex, not a law.

Very interesting and valid statement Manta :y
however, we as humans long time ago stopped living in accordance with nature.. :-\
because long time ago our ancestors discovered something called "money".. and then everything is designed with monetary rules..
however, by todays standards even you can see big children no matter what their age is :-\ besides as we live in a community its inevitable that some rules must be applied.. or it becomes either like a wild forest life or at least a zoo with no fences.. :(

I do agree Cem that certain rules are a must. But there are some areas in the UK where we have young adults who have no idea of how to behave and the only rules for them are there hormones it would seem. If these people where educated in life the idea of having there own children (at a younger age) would be ok.
Instead what we have are our intelligent women having children at an age that is inappropiate and they have no connection wth the child when it reaches the teenage years. This causes division in the family. Where as younger parents can have some affinity and connection with there children.
I am of course no expert on any of this, it is just what I see in my daily life. For example today I saw an approx 5 year old girl cross the road with an approx 2 year old toddling along with her (they where holding hands). This road is a dual carraigeway with a 30mph speed limit. Now on one hand I thought what irresponsible parent would allow that to happen, then on the other hand it could be that this child was mature enough, and intelligent enough to cross the road safely, if she had the right education from her elders. Now if someone was to jump the red traffic light it could be a disaster. But even if a parent was there it would not stop the disaster happening.
Sorry to rant on.

yes.. I have witnessed the same fact so many times.. Adults decide to make children when their aconomic conditions become better but by that time their physical conditions go worse and their responsibilities in life, keep them away from their chidlren.. An example was me, my mother was a judge and I grow up in the hands of baby sitters and some others :(
