I wonder if you think women who were raped while under the influence of a 'date rape drug', and never discovered it, were in no way harmed, since they never learned what happened to them.

It's not the same thing at all. You have obviously never known anyone with a child who is profoundly mentally disabled and not even able to respond to a parent's attention and love, a child that lies on a blanket in the living room, is fed with a bottle, and even has trouble with normal elimination of body wastes. I knew someone with a child like that, a child who was born normal, but had a reaction to the anesthesia during an operation to put tubes in his ears.
