In the United States v. Skrmetti case, the plaintiffs are challenging Tennessee's ban on medical procedures for minors that support transitions inconsistent with their sex. This raises questions about parental consent and the state's role in safeguarding child welfare.
American law maintains that minors cannot give informed consent for medical procedures. This limitation reflects the belief that they may not fully understand the implications of treatments such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
