Sexual arousal isn't simple.

I'm not sure turning over cases that prosecutors don't consider provable to 12 people who will need to conclude that the prosecutions case is proved beyond a reasonable doubt is a good idea. Are you just expecing jurors to have a lower standard of proof in their heads than "reasnable doubt"? Do you want them to think

Exactly. They're programmed to serve, and have restraining bolts if they get too uppity. But what's exactly wrong with that? They seem completely happy, and utility is maximized.

"Perhaps" So! People who black out drunk are not unconscious. They just don't remember what they do. But can we tell that they are in a state that they will not form memories? How can we tell at the time? I'm not saying this is even a minority of cases where people have been raped, but I don't think its completely
