The larynx, where the vocal cords are housed is not fully matured until around 20-25 years old. Any growth of that area could lead to tearing of the transplanted vocal cords, so typically a recipient needs to be older. I'm not sure about the legal side (also I'm Australian so it's different here).
I'd be very interested to know if he has had any speech-language pathology intervention growing up, and if yes, what kind and for how long.
