A 35 year old has a disorder which resulted in them having the emotional and cognitive abilities as a 14 year old. Should this 35 year old be allowed to have sex with an actual 14 year old, given everybody is informed about consent and safety?

Depends on what you mean by "allowed." In an ideal ideal word maybe yes; in reality, a judiciary robust enough to make this distinction is a pipe dream so I wouldn't want to change laws to allow it. I *would* hope for discretion over how that law is enforced, though.
