    Enter a variety of situations:

    A father and his son wish to marry and enter a homosexual relationship, perhaps adopting a child (for this example, assume they are aged 50 and 25).

    While asleep, a dog enters its female owner. Having been emotionally broken by her interpersonal relationships, she enjoys it and believes she has fallen in love with the dog. She goes about life as any other, job, vacation, etc except that she has regular intercourse with the pet. This is not kept secret.

    A man and woman, one of them determined to have diminished mental capacity due to a birth defect, wish to get married. It is widely believed that the person of "inferior" mental capacity is incapable of understanding the situation and truly consenting. The other is convinced that they love each other.

    How does each case make you feel? What would you do as a bystander? As a government? Apologies for these being so lurid, but they're taken from actual examples I've encountered even in this rural region of northwest Connecticut. Does this affect what you perceive as moral, natural, or anything else?

    I wish I could further explain my ideas, but without the necessary time it would probably just make things even harder to understand.

    • In your second example you left off "This is not kept secret..and used for moneymaking opportunities on the interwebs."Dr_Sparkleshine
