Agree

Agree

Yes, but only if they are at least 16 years old

Setting a minimum age of 16 could be seen as a compromise that respects the autonomy of older teenagers while addressing concerns about the capacity of younger children to consent to such treatments. The PES might view this as a reasonable safeguard.

Slightly disagree

Yes, as long as treatment is not subsidized by the government

Disagree

Yes

Disagree
