If you rape someone, that implies they are not capable of accepting it mentally or emotionally or physically or all three of those.

We are speaking of it being universally and absolutely wrong to rape a human. I frankly believe its wrong to rape sheep and dogs too, but for the sake of simple conversation I am limiting this to humans :p
So when is it good for a HUMAN to rape a HUMAN, or is it absolutely wrong universally in spite of opinion?
Rape is considered a crime because it is wrong as per our current society, if there were any good aspects of it, those would either be listed as exceptions or the law would have been changed. That's why I mentioned it to be a "hypothetical situation", but can you guarantee that no hypothetical situation like the one I mentioned can ever arise? Since rape is a recognized crime, I guess you are having a hard time thinking otherwise, so let's take a different scenario.
Do you think killing animals for food is moral?
Do you think killing plants for food is moral?
