Sure. Of course. That's a false equivalence though. Children don't get a say in a lot of things. We still draw a distinction between necessary and elective medical procedures.
Anyway, my main point was "shut up about it, it doesn't affect you" is a pretty shitty argument.

No child ever in the hundreds of thousands of years of homo sapiens, has a child had the right (or ability) to get a say in their genetic makeup. The parents themselves have in fact only had anything but fuzzy proxies until the past few decades.
