Is your argument that a 1 week old baby with ~84 years of expected lifespan remaining should have a vote worth 84x that of an 83 year old?

I don't know if I'd go with a 1:1 ratio, but voting for matters that might have consequences farther in the future?

Aye, I think it makes sense for parents to have proxy votes for their kids.
