Sanity is safer for the society, hence the preference for it. I believe they draw the line by general principles. Take this example. We know rape to be traumatic. So we have laws to deter rapist or punish them. We also have a general belief that rape is more traumatic for women than men. So we tend to be harsher judges on man-on-woman rape than vice versa. But for all you know, a man who was raped by a woman might be equally traumatized. (I don't know if that is physically or psychologically possible, since I'm not a man. But I just took it as a general example.)</blockquote>
