If they consent I don't see what the moral issue is. I know that is a fairly extremist stance and am willing to take all the flack that comes with it. If someone is capable of consenting to something, and does so, why should that be of any third party's concern?

Unless you considerer doing that illogical or unreasonable, in which case you equate these two terms with ethics anyway.
I consider taking away someone's rights against their will to be unreasonable. I never said that I was ethicless, but rather I believe that ethics are subjective. My ethics should not determine the ethics of others, and my ethics probably aren't correct for everyone.
