  • The scientific method varies from field to field. In medicine you usually need to proof it by taking a significant amount people. Then create a control group and a testing group. Then test your medicine on the group and give the other placebos.

    When you can measure health improvement for one group over the other there is a reasonable amount of proof that the medicine works.

    The scientific method has one major goal. Reduce human made errors in science. Humans do not work objectively. Humans always have an bias. Things like reproduceable tests and peer review try to reduce the bias.

  • Ok now hypothetically:

    As long both are fully aware of the consequences of having sex and consent then it would be fine (for any age)

    Reality: age of consent exists for the reason that children and teenagers won’t be able to make a fully thought through decision. Even if they think they can. Some humans may be able to do so before the legal age and some maybe not after the age of 18.

    It would be difficult to determine each humans ability to make decisions so they just said 18 should be sufficient.
