Bad analogy, completely different situation. In this case, the parent has given their consent to the surgeon either by the medical waiver form, or much more likely by the forms signed at the hospital. In any case, consent has been
given by the parent to the doctor. In the case of a player down, there is nobody on that court who the parent has given their consent to. Mom and Dad are still ultimate authority. They can refuse the surgery even against the best medical advice.
Your idea of who might want to consider their sense of self importance is a good idea, as often our best ideas are the ones we realize are for and about our selves, even when we originally though they were intended for others.
This hypothetical situation has nothing to do with any sort of sense of self importance. The very idea is an injury and insult to intelligent linear thought. When a baby comes out of your vagina, there's a very strong emotional attachment that can cause an adult to forget all about silly rules when they see their child hurt on the floor. THis is of the deep care, concern, and passion a parent has for their child, which has zero to do with a sense of self importance.
I know I'm a howler monkey, so automatically I have no credibility, but I've read a lot of your comments, and I used to think you were a pretty sharp referee who exhibited a good measure of smarts. But your comments in this thread are just bizzare.
