A parent forcing a kid who has pituitary dwarfism to get growth hormone therapy needs to be illegal because if that kid wants to be short, it's their choice on whether they want to be short, I mean not everyone wants to be tall, being taller has risks to it, people who are taller tend to not live as long, have more health issues, and have more blood clots, and growth hormones have been linked to cancer, too.

Sure we all like to go to the circus and p ourselfs laughing at the dwarfs and think there kind of cute. And why dont you ask @Bogan about this? Where he comes from they have dwarf throwing competitions and they think its hellarious.
But your got to look at the practical side of things. Apart from the ridicule dwarfs have a horrible time with there bones and joints and have a horrible time all the time with the pain because they have to wiggle to walk and get riped tendons all the time. The one advantage I suppose is that when they fall over they dont have far to fall
But seriously they have to do this therapy when the dwarf kids are really young so the parents have to make the decision so it really is a tough call. Sure there is no such thing as a perfect body which ever way we go but I reckon that dwarfs have a heap more health issues than us tallys.

So you think kids can make any decisions they deem good for. themselves? Parents get to decide whats in their childs best interest unless it obvious abuse.
Do you think children can have sex because they may want to?

You need to provide substantial evidence the treatment is dangerous. Saying tall people on average live less long is not a good argument. This is insinuating people with dwarfism live longer because they are short but they do not.
Also youre argument provides a stance the pedophilia is fine as long as a child agrees.

I do not think anyone else, or the government, should have any say on anything but explicit cases of violence/cruel treatment, such as parents beating their child up, abusing him verbally systematically, depriving him of food, locking him in his room over minor disobedience... Things like choice of treatment, education or diet are too grey to be tackled by criminal courts.
For example, I do not think that the government should have prevented Neil's dad in the Dead Poets' Society from not letting him take acting classes. However, upon Neil's suicide it definitely should have put him on trial for cruel treatment of his child leading to him killing himself. It is pretty hard to judge how traumatic are particular parent's actions are to the child just by looking into those actions, but here we have a very explicit consequence (death) of those actions suggesting that they were very hurtful.
