From my understanding, everyone is born with hair follicles under their face's skin which can later become facial hair when exposed to enough testosterone for long enough. Currently, it's not possible to remove these hair follicles before they've become facial hair.
For my theoretical, let's say it was possible to remove these hair follicles prior to puberty via some new procedure. Let's also assume that this procedure is easier or safer or something to use on infants than on adults for whatever reason. But it's still possible for adults to use this new procedure, laser hair removal, and/or electrolysis to remove their facial hair.
In this hypothetical scenario, would it be ethical for parents to use this procedure on their male children to prevent them from growing facial hair? Also, would it be ethical for parents to use this procedure on their female children, given that some women can grow a bit of facial hair much later in life?
Why? What the flying fuck is the point of this impossible hypothetical?
Why should anyone entertain this entirely pointless thought exercise, or would you care to elaborate why you are asking this and how its applicable literally anything else?
