B or C, but there has to be some real reason for it. the parents cannot demand it without some kind of legal basis for it, as would the courts.
a minor cannot consent for any reason |

E. None of the above.
It would have to be a case of medical necessity for a child to be sterilized.....such as a cancerous growth being removed, or something similar, in which case of course parental consent for the operation to be performed would be necessary, but the reason for the surgery would not be sterilization. The act of sterilization would be secondary to saving the minor child's life. |

why would a doctor sterilize a rape victim? The court cannot order sterilization. the parents cannot do that to a child. the child cannot do that without parental consent. |

Possibilities
Female - B, most likely in a severe case where mental illness or mental retardation is involved. (to prevent multiple future unwanted pregnancies)
or
Male - C, California penal code, section 645 allows judges the option to order forced sterilization for rapists when the victim is less than 13. Second offense, forced sterilization is mandatory. |

In 50 states, at least B and C is plausible.
A and D seems impossible in our United States, but I can imagine D could occur in a country that thinks nothing of females and children. |

Most likely C. I'm not sure where you live but that's the only option where I live (Australia). This was decided in the High Court in Re Marion (in this case the girl was severely mentally disabled, and the Court decided parents couldn't give consent to sterilisation, only the court could).
B might be valid in some places I guess. I don't think the other two would be. I think even in the US C is the only option, unless the sterilisation is just a side effect of another necessary procedure: http://www.endocrinetoday.com/view.aspx?rid=36867 |
