Not everyone is ready to accept that premise. ;)
I actually feel that it`s something that should be respected. If it`s part of their religion it should be treated with respect and sincere consideration. 
Parents' decisions should be respected - especially taking into consideration that the child might even benefit from that. Parents decide for their kids a tun of stuff with the premise that it`s the best for their kids. It`s easy to overlook those whose consequences aren`t visible or only show up later in the kids life.

In the end it`s a normal medical procedure... it`s the same medical procedure for those who choose and those who don`t.

Yep, it's easy, and WRONG. Why should it be respected? Because it's part of their religion? What if virgin sacrifices were part of their religion? Should that be respected too?

Are we talking about virgin sacrifices?
Yes, because it`s part of their religion; yes, because it was a parental decision from which the child took benefit.
