Personal Autonomy-how far does it extend?

It refers to “A self-directing freedom and moral independence. An ethical principle holds that the autonomy of persons ought to be respected”. We all need to be free and be able to take informed decisions and as long that freedom is attained in a moral and respected way, life will go smooth. For example, your mother gave birth to you and when you get of age she must accept that you have grown and needs freedom to make decisions for yourself.
As humans we have a desire for personal autonomy. We have a desire to be the person who chooses how we live our lives. We have a desire not to be controlled by others. As young children when we are learning about the world we may be happy to follow what those we trust tell us, but, as we all know as we approach adolescence we fight with fierce determination for our right to change this situation and make our own choices, independent of those whom we have been accustomed to following. If we are not able to move into a position where we are self determining, if we feel under the control of another then we find ourselves in a very difficult situation. To not act in accordance with what feels right to oneself results in severe mental confusion because we are not able to be who we are. Indeed this problem begins far earlier than adolescence. If as babies and young children our basic needs are not looked after, or if we are expected to act in ways which are against our basic nature, then damage will have been done in our psyche.
However, to her you will always be young and a child (something you cannot change). As one grows, one tends to mature and needs that sense of independence and have his/her family and make his/her decision without consulting anyone. However, one does not leave in vacuum and have people that one needs to consult and make amends with for life go smooth.
