As such, I contend that we have no reason to think that age should be the kind of thing that one should be able to change legally. Moreover, we have at least one good reason for thinking that legal age change would be positively undesirable.}, issn = {0306-6800}, URL = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/45/7/467}, eprint = {https://jme.bmj.com/content/45/7/467.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Medical Ethics} }
