I would compare that level of consent to the type of consent that a horse can provide in this circumstance.

how about child molestation? a child can give consent, but does it mean anything in this sense?

and me, i'd feel pretty bad about having sex with a mentally challenged girl, who technically consented. i think i might even feel like i'd raped her.
