We regularly restrict choices of vulnerable people in our society. That’s why kids can’t drive, drink, smoke, etc.

Parents can give their kids alcohol and cigarettes, that's fully legal.

Driving involves danger to other. We restrict adults from doing things that are a danger to others, it has nothing to do with being "vulnerable."
