I waver. Given that it's basically harmless (and quite obviously nicer cosmetically), should we also ban the piercing of children's ears by parents?

I dont really have an opinion either. I suppose I would like parents to be able to make these decisions themselves (wisely) but there is a line where that freedom has to end. I just dont know where it is.
