| I think our society has deemed it inappropriate and illegal rather than sick. Not all societies follow our legislation, in the UK it is 16 apart from Northern Ireland where it is 17, in the US it is 18 (although I think it varies in some states), in Spain it is 13, in Germany it is 14 and in France it is 15.
If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.
