Hi CARC.
I am not a lawyer. I don't know anything about the BC Infancy Act Law. But it seems that so many parents like us, in seeking out the help of lawyers and judges who we assume would be sensible and protect our children, find that all have partaken in the magic Kool-Aid drinking ritual and will rule against reasonable parents wanting to safeguard children from making irreversible medical decisions when they are too young and impulsive to make mature, reasoned decisions. Whatever law is in place, the judge will likely have to follow it. Is there a legal precedent in which a parent was able to get some sort of exception to prevent this law from applying to their child?
This might sound extreme, but you may want to consider moving away to a place where minors are not allowed to undergo irreversible, experimental medical procedures without the consent of their parents.
