"not if that something is illegal "

That's a pretty simplistic outlook. You're assertion is that passing a law changes the definition of right and wrong? Slavery was therefore right, because it was legal. The Nazi's extermination of their victims was also right, because it was legal under their system. I submit that these were violations of the involved individuals rights, and therefore wrong, despite the legal status.

Let me amend my assertion: It is wrong to make illegal any activity that an adult enters into with the mutual consent of those directly affected.
