I read that article fully but the second that they quoted "Teen Brain" Is what throws me off, no rational scientist in the world even if they were using layman's terms would ever be so derogetory as teen brain.

Her exact reason as discussed in episode 8 was that she couldn't allow a senseless phenomena to exist, ergo pretty much stating her entire plan was to stop people in class 3-3 from dying. To make a long story short, she knew the dangers, she knew if something screwed up someone was gonna die, but she volunteered anyway for the sole purpose of giving death the middle finger.

As for the age legalities you pretty much brought to light another thing. There was a bit of a theory I had in body development in terms of age legalities in certain countries. I used this theory as a means of explaining why in some countries like Japan, would have earlier physical developments. To put it lightly, because of a certain consent age law that's been around for years, the entire country adapted to the point where people started developing around  at least a few years younger than that age limit. It's a disturbing thing to talk about. However it gave me another theory,  because the bodies are developing more earlier maybe every part including the brain develops early. An 11 year old could have a 15 year old's brain, a 15 year old would have a 19 year old brain and so on. But essentially because of those developments, a 15 year old would be fully capable of of comprehending the consequences of life and death situations.
