Kinda just feels like a form of bigotry? Not overt, but definitely kinda just "jumping to wild fears based on an ableist mindset". There's not really a trope for that.

There is little reason to doubt that the parents are only motivated by their love for their son, their familiarity with his condition, and their concern that an older version of him would—in their opinion—be likely to screw up surgery.

That's still an ableist mindset. Their motivations don't matter; they're assuming the doctor can't do a surgery he's more than capable of.
