Interesting question. I think we would need to be very careful with this one, as there is a potential issue with abuse of power of parenthood to shape the child to want this. We have to be careful of course of inforcing our morality on other's in matters that are not properly society's concern, but I think it would be hard to be convinced the daughter would act this way through informed consent, and she may well need to be protected from acting this way.
