The intention is a nice one, but  the  idea  frightens  me.  My  first
question,  of course, is who is going to decide whats best for me?  If
I am to decide, then you need to know of my decision and abide by  it.
If  you  are  to  decide, then I am to be bound by something that will
very likely cause me great amounts of discomfort.

Be careful with this  idea.  It  can  be  easily  used  to  justify  a
lifestyle  akin to that depicted in "1984".  I think what has a better
outcome is to live and let live.  Its like I tell my kids, "Don't  you
worry  what  she's  doing,  you take care of yourself and let her take
care of herself."
