I think you've accidentally set up a straw man. I didn't say they're not being prescribed, nor that they are being given without any consideration, but that they're being given to minors (12 or 13), which is true and discussed in the article. It's likely that are pros and cons to this, also discussed in the article.

But those minors aren't making the decision. Doctors are.
