While I fully understand and appreciate your opinion, this is where I differ: Your concept of informed consent is based on the makeup of human sociology and physical physiology. Many animals lack the brain structure to make an emotional connection through intercourse, and instead see copulation as merely part of the cycle of life. We know this through the study of the brain centers and comparing the developed parts of the brain to that of studied animals. Humans as a species, once bred for survival of the species in the same manner animals now do, due to different sections of the brain being enlarged. Hence the caveman's philosophy of "club the woman over the head, drag her in the cave, and breed." studies have shown males and females who habitually cheat on their spouse still suffer from this condition, allowing them to breed without emotional connection or social stigma. By your standards we should not have sex with these people either, because they too cannot properly make informed consent.
now lets examine your discussion about watching a video of a 12 year old having sex. While I understand that to many here this act is deplorable, but I urge us to discuss the full scope of this discussion. Where are the participants from? What social situation are you viewing? If they're from Thailand, for example, they could be a consenting married couple and both parties would possess not only the physical ability to make informed consent, but would be developed enough mentally, socially, and physically to understand its ramifications. Even in our own country 150 years ago, a 12 year old would be considered almost marrying age, and still is in most states with (average minimum age to marry in US is 14 parental consent, and in more then half the states the age of sexual consent is less then 15).
The beauty of the discussion of SSC is that its derived to be different from culture to culture. While I don't condone sex with the unwilling or minors, I also accept that its illegal in my culture. If i were in a different culture, I wouldn't be so disposed of such practices, and while i myself wouldn't participate, that doesn't mean i would judge someone as quickly there as i do here for such acts.
In the end, were all Mammals, and we share many traits with our animalistic brethren in this world. Elephants bury their dead, primates have the same brain physiology as we do, and many other species share similar characteristics that make us decidedly "human".
Without compassion and understanding of all types, we cannot be so quick as to condemn a persons actions without all the factors.
