MeDroogies-

Personally, I like an idea Robert Heinlein floated in one of his novels- Starbeast, I think- that permitted a minor to go before a magistrate and request legal status as an adult. Upon acceptance, such a person would be legally entitled to fry his or her brains, and would also be bound to his or her contracts. It's less clear to me why a legal minor should not be able to enlist in the military.
