No we don't. The technology exists to make laws fit the individual in cases such as this.
For instance give everyone a thumb drive and/or subdermal implant that can be updated with medical info. These devices would also contain a persons legal rights/permissions. For instance an individual starts displayinga clear interest in sex so use the device and make em legal. Similarly it could be used for drugs license infractins and so on. In short customize laws and rights to the individual. Not that hard when you think about it and it would really simplify things.
Something incredibly complicated would simplify things?
Doing something like that would probably be extremely expensive, would make people complain about unfairness or discrimination if they weren't given the same permissions as someone else, and has great potential to be abused. Governments aren't to be trusted.

I find that people tend not to think enough about absolutes and make too much of exceptions.
Sorrior said:Personally i say we run a test and interview a couple that is say a 14-15 year old who's seeing someone about 20-30 and see how hey turn out long run WITHOUT being ripped apart. I see most of this damage that supposedly happens from the relationship as happening instead because of law enforcement ripping apart there relationship But i would also be willing to amend my views should untainted research show it and sadly to get that testimonies won't work.
Once again, that's impractical due to the cost of interviewing so many couples and the potential for abuse or disagreement with the decision. Everyone who didn't like the results of the test would bitch about or even appeal against the results.

I blame Hollywood. The AOC in California is 18, no? And therefore nearly every film and TV programme talks about 18 as being the legal age.
