A question of consent

[Officer Dibble]

"Clearly the other person was mad and therefore incapable of giving consent"

"Mad?" I disagree that should necessarily be the case. Just because someone's desires, tastes and worldview fall outside the considered norm it doesn?t automatically follow that they are mad. What about the chap who likes to have his ball-bag nailed to a chair? Is he therefore only half-mad?

I was gloating over the German cannibal case because it put the authorities and the establishment right on the spot. Threatening to invalidate all the pompous, pious, sanctimonious, hypocritical bullshit they lay on you about what?s right and what?s wrong, how to live and how not to live. This should never have happened in the black and white world of right and wrong they created for the lower orders to adhere to. But here was a chap saying, "Nah, it's alright. I don't mind being murdered and eaten. In fact I?ll probably get huge stimulation and enjoyment out of it. Sorted." Hmm, very awkward indeed.

What a tolerant, liberal person you are Dibble! Would you have that attitude if your son or daughter stated their preference for being eaten?

I don't know, one moment I'm too tolerant, the next I'm Adolph Eichmenn. What a complicated character I am.

Anyhow, yes I would have the same attitude. If that's how they felt, that would be how they felt. Making laws couldn't alter that fact. Of course if I did find myself in those appalling and highly unusual circumstances I would offer no assistance in helping them facilitate their wishes and would actively discourage them and try to persuade them that life was the better option - which I hope illustrates what an objective chap I am - not swayed by, emotion, bigotry or peer pressure. The facts are the facts and conclusions draw logical and inevitable.
