Parents make dramatic life altering decisions for kids all the time. This is just starting a little earlier. You wouldn't be any less your parents son if they decided you should be a red head.

True, but most decisions aren't as permanent as that. Choosing whether your kid gets certain medications or if they go to a certain school is what the parent thinks is best, not what the parent exactly feels like they want. To me it's like they're treating a baby like a cheese burger. "Oh, no pickles. Lots of lettuce. And yes, ketchup. But not TOO much ketchup."
