Sounds intellectually plausible (sophistry) until one notices there has been no attempt to distinguish between "consent" and "informed consent".

Don't you think that this goes to the heart of the discussion where pedophilia is involved?

We might begin by agreeing on whether those are moral or legal phrases. "Consent" and "Informed Consent" are legal terms only as effective as the person making the argument.

You missed my point.
If they are legal terms they are subject to the whims of society and politics.
If it they are moral terms then there might just be a universal and eternal truth supporting them.

I believe that they are moral terms (as distinct from religious terms).
