Children, as definite potential consenters, are a case of excerption not abstraction.

This has nothing to do with consent but okay.

We look after the mentally ill who may not be able to understand their rights and responsibilities in society.
Similarly to children you can view the mentally ill as potential consenters pending medical advances. That said I don't consider "braindead" people as deserving of rights and I'd lean more towards considering them the "property" of whoever they expressed a desire to become the "property" of in some sort of will.

Besides that we clearly have to draw the line somewhere. I'd rather not live in a society which goes around imprisoning people for squashing irritating insects to be honest.
