@chisop@todon.eu @SecondUniverse@autistics.life that's what Gillick competence is modelling. In the UK someone age 16 is presumed to be able to consent to medical treatment, and below that it's a sliding scale related to “if and when the child achieves sufficient understanding and intelligence to understand fully what is proposed”.
