For me, in the end it comes down to minor benefits for an elective surgery that carries risks, and which the recipient didn't elect to take himself. Elective procedures require consent. Not only are minors incapable of giving consent legally, but below a certain level of cognitive development they're not even capable of understanding what their parents are giving their consent to.
