In general, I would say no one should be forced to undergo surgery, particularly surgery that, as far as we know, has no medical benefit. Surgery conducted on a competent adult, against their will, would qualify in my book as a human rights violation. Children undergo all kinds of procedures they don't consent to: tonsillectomies, circumcisions, vaccinations, etc. In those cases, the parents make the decision. If you feel confident enough that you know better than the parents what's best for these children (i.e. what's "Right"), by all means I encourage you to go to one of these countries and share your enlightened philosophy with the locals. I'd be interested to hear how your trip goes! Yours from the "other side"
