Consenting to an evil deed makes it neither right nor tolerable. The Libertarians are advocating a form of infantilism: "I want, and therefore give me!"

Not at all... The moral crusaders are saying, "I know what's best for everyone, so you WILL do as I say." The libertarian though is simply, "what I do in the privacy of my own domocile is none of your damn business, as long as I am hurting no-one else." The libertarians are not demanding anything (as in your allusion to "give me"), but simply asking to be left alone.

The fallacy of your argument is that disease does not stay behind hallowed closed doors, and even if it did, it would be human beings who are suffering. Perhaps we could try to resurrect Thomas Jefferson to have him strike out the inalienable rights passages in the DOI's Preamble to make the libertarians and other social-Darwinists happy.

Libertarians are simply conservatives without values or morals.
