Actually, no. Consent is a concept of contractualism, but my arguments are based on utilitarianism where you don't measure things based on consent but based on the happiness or suffering an action creates.
Contractualism is a political theory and can only be applied to those who can give consent as defined by that theory. Within that theory everyone who can't consent has no rights and the theory provides no reason to treat them morally.
