If we want to protect people from themselves, then we should outlaw everything. Literally everything that is not necessary for human survival will be illegal, anyone who carries any sort of incurable disease, sezually transmitted or not, will be killed, and the rest of us can live in a bubble with padded walls.
If we want to let people be responsible for themselves, we should leave the line of adulthood after which parents are not responsible at 18 and let Darwin sort them out.
I fully support the second one. Let people do anything they want and severely punish them when they hurt others.
