### Anybody who, e.g., doesn't want to cut the child's liver out for sale to
organ traders is likely to be better equipped to decide what is good for the
child. You know that allowing absolute control (=ownership fee simple) over
children by their parents would in an unacceptably large number of cases
lead to such unfavorable (for the child) outcomes.
