How do you ask consent of someone who can't really perceive the consequences of an action?
If sentience is "perceiving the consequences of an action," then I submit that adult humans aren't fully sentient either. Even smart adult humans can't perceive many of the consequences of an action with much accuracy, although this ability does, for some of us, increase over time.
Do you agree at all? If so, does that change your answer any?
