Wait ... can they still fuck? Or is it problematic now? How old is she? Are mental age and physical age the same thing in this scenario? Does she still have her memories?
Woody Allen really needs these questions answered guys.
Trying to answer this seriously, I'd say no. This is like, a Princess Bubblegum de-aging situation. She has her memories, but her brain and personality is now that of a kid. As opposed to like, Claudia in Interview with the Vampire who is an immortal child that wanted to be treated as the 70 year old woman she was.
But even in the Claudia instance I'd say no because it's still just too gross. There's just no getting past the body age thing. I guess I'd say Claudia could probably have a legal right to seek adult experiences (though she would only find sick weirdos), but Keiko and Princess Bubblegum should not.
Heck, even in Adventure Time Bubblegum loses the right to rule because she is too young, despite being a thousand years old or something.

I'd argue that a real person in Claudia's situation shouldn't be discriminated against for what is ultimately a physical abnormality. I see it as a more extreme version or "dwarves shouldn't be allowed to have relations with larger people because they look vaugely like children."
I'd also argue that any media which depicts someone in Claudia's situation finding love is probably some creep trying to find an outlet for their fantasies.
Here's my question, why was the malfunction not replicated and monitized by the Ferangi as a beauty produced? "Look 10 years younger because you will be 10 years younger"
It's been a while since I saw that episode but weren't they only able to do that because they had her most recent pattern stored in the buffer or something like that?
Wacky stuff like that seemingly has been normalized over the years.
But the failure rate of transporters is probably low. With all the dangers of driving (accidents, weather, mechanical failures, etc) people still seem to have no issues driving
Well, we don't usually see a Day in the Life of a Normally Functioning Transporter. It'd make for a pretty boring episode. It's kind of like "Well, where ARE the bathrooms on the ship? What do they look like? How do they work? Do they also use the three seashells?" I mean, getting an answer might be mildly interesting, but really... do we need to see the space toilet? They only kind of got value out of complaining about a lack of showers on Voyager.
Transporters are perfectly safe, and we just see those ultra rare times when they aren't.
No, what you should really worry about is whether it's you that arrives on the other end of that transporter or not. Is there a soul? Does it survive? What is actually transmitted down to the planet? What makes you you, basically? Some people find that line of thought the stuff of nightmares.
Fuck, that's a tough one. At least that one has Lieutenant Yar. I love her. Underrated character. In general that one is probably worse though. The sexy planet one was pretty bad too.
