Question put another way - I happen to know at least one person who could be classed as having moderate developmental or learning disabilities (I say moderate - I would describe severe as someone who has difficulty communicating and understanding simple concepts). She is well over 18 (early 20s) and extremely frustrated at how difficult it is for her to have normal social relationships, but in particular to date and have romantic relationships.
If we are to say that those with these issues are unable to consent, do we have the right to withhold their right to seek fulfillment for their romantic and sexual desires? If we say yes, are we to restrict this to pre-screened "decent" people, or to others with similar conditions and difficulties?
