    Whether or not a doctor obtains consent is entirely irrelevant to whether it is ethical to kill a sentient being for sensory pleasure. You are creating a false analogy because you can no longer defend your position on the original topic.

        I used those analogies as reductio ad absurdum to show that your stated logic leads to absurd conclusions. I didn’t raise them to debate medical ethics; I raised them to demonstrate that if we held people responsible for any foreseen probability of harm, society would be impossible.

        ​The fact that you are hyper-focusing on the mechanics of a doctor’s consent rather than addressing why your own logic makes parents ‘murderers’ and drivers ‘killers’ proves that you are incapable of defending your actual position.

          but they’re bad analogies
