Or does it become acceptable if you teach the person how to build a fire?

Does it become acceptable if you also teach the person to build traps for animals?

Does it become acceptable if you also teach the person which plants are edible?

At which point does it become acceptable to thrust a person into a position they have not consented to and demand that they survive?

Why is consent important for sex but not existence?
