Yeah, that's a nice objective definition that won't cause any issues...* cough age*, *cough mental state*, etc
Okay? I definitely agree that children cannot give consent because of their mental and sexual immaturity. I never argued for pedophilia in the slightest sense. Homosexuality and pedophilia are separate issues entirely.

Who decides what is "well being" for "human kind"?
By the way, based on "well being for humankind", homosexuality would, obviously, not be good.
Neither from a biological standpoint OR a social one.
I clearly meant good for the individual, not good for the reproduction of the human species. I already gave my justification for what determines something to be good in my opinion, that which results in the greatest wellbeing for the greatest amount of individuals. Theres no "who" involved or necessary.
The fact that you don't see the slope you are is, well, typical of people that are trying to push the social agenda of the times.
I am sure the communist believed that what they were doing was for the greater well being of the greatest amount of individuals, I know that Mao believed that.
As for the consent thing, if consent is the ONLY measure you are using, you have to another slope to slide on.
WHO defines age of consent? who define mental ability to consent? at what point is consent revocable?
Etc, etc, etc..
You remind me of the pro-transgender people that laughed when it was pointed out that IF simply saying that one identifies as a woman is all the is required then that any man can identify as a woman and, in the case of sports for example, put biological women at a disadvantage.
Yet, that is what is happening now.
