Do you really think that I'm saying that babies can consent? You are not skilled, at all, in the art of debate, or the knowledge of science to which you so readily attempt to appeal. Science is a useful tool to those who understand it. Blindly adhering to indoctrination is not science or even logic.
If you are ever interested in learning your way out of the mind prison you've allowed yourself to be put in, you might start with the Trivium, the Quadrivium, and a course or two in biochemistry and biophysics.
In the crazy world it is hard to know who to trust, but I just don't understand why people have so much fear. I will investigate trivium and quadrivium, because I am not familiar with them. There are people that lie with science and statistics but for the most part the acidemic community uses checks and balance that are designed to mitigate misinformation. Unlike this topic.

People have fear from lack of knowledge. Knowledge brings empowerment and the ability for self determination, and diminishes fear.
Please do check out the Trivium and Quadrivium. Beware of the manipulations of the Trivium used to alter it's function from a way to derive truth from the senses and logic. The Neo-Platonists manipulated it to create a theistic, authoritarian control structure, and the Prussian school remade it to create willing soldiers. Wikipedia is also infested with this manipulation.
The ideas of the Trivium and Quadrivium need to be taken in order to arrive at the truth, much in the same way that there is an order of operations for math. Speaking of math...
The order, as I have found useful for understanding the world, is Trivium: grammar, logic, classical rhetoric, and the Quadrivium: math, geometry, music, and astronomy. Separated or taken out of order, they can be easily manipulated.
Academia is filthy with conflict of interest, appeal from authority, appeal to popularity, and the genetic fallacy. I find the best way is to learn the basics of intellectual self defense and interpret the data as best one can.
One of the most useful tools I've employed is a continuing attempt to try to prove myself wrong, as I find it too easy to simply dismiss the arguments of others. Dismissal, without understanding is an all too common occurrence with the online chaos, where misinformation is rife, and there is no real way to determine the sincerity of the interactions had. Don't believe everything you read, in fact, doubt everything until it is understood at a fundamental level.
Trust yourself, but first make sure you are someone whom you CAN trust.

I suggest checking out my previous post about the corruption of modern science that includes interviews with people near the top of the system who openly admit that the system is totally corrupt and deliberately misleading everyone for financial gain.
