It's not OK for adults either. I know some people are on the "adults should be able to do with their own bodies" tour, and that's true to some extent. This in no way requires doctors to be complicit in what you do.
You're free to hack off your hand, because you are transabled, but you're not free to demand that a doctor do that for you.
I see it as those freaks who get insane piercings, facial tattoos, forked tongues, etc. none of it is actually necessary, but if they're going to do it better to have someone who knows how to get it done without killing them.
might as well ban video games and alcohol too. none of those have any benefit to society afterall and people who indulge in them waste their lives. Ban skateboards and motorcycles because they are so dangerous. while we're at it, might as well ban drivable cars since we have self-driving car technology. car crashes are one of the leading causes of death in the United States as after all! /s
I don't want to be in the business of dictating what people can and can't do with their bodies. everything is relative and what is egregious to some is sensible to others.
So long as they don't hurt anyone else, there's no reason to ban it.
Video games and alcohol are good in small doses. Mutilation in small doses is also bad. Cars have huge advantages that grossly outweigh car crashes. Mutilation has no advantages.
Also, what people do to their bodies doesn't stay private. Those mutilated freaks will then demand access to women's spaces.

demand? with government insurance? no.
Request and pay for out of pocket? Sure why not.

Ban those too. If people kill themselves trying to mutilate their own bodies it may deter others.
