Giving Consent
When discussing consensual crime, one issue is whether all the participants are capable of giving genuine consent. This may not be the case if one or more of the participants are:
- Animals
- Children (normally measured as being under the legal age of consent)
- Severely disabled
- Severely mentally ill
- Not fully informed about the issues involved
- Suffering from mood swings
- Acting under duress
- Addicted
- Intoxicated
- Unconscious

Famous quotes containing the words giving and/or consent:
“It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life’s parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. ... Death does away with time.”
—Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)
“The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him,—not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
