Ok so my friends at school today brought this to my attention.... well they actually just reminded me of this issue. People are constantly being told what is ethical and what is morally sound. Well doesn't that depend on the person. Some people have different morals and ethics. How can you tell someone who is aetheist that being that way is immoral and unethical. Obviously their beliefs are different. They don't believe that God defines what is ethical and moral. Another example is the death penalty. some people think that the death penalty is immoral because their morals are that courts should not have the power to define who dies. Or that murder is not solved with murder. Or that a murderer should suffer his/her whole life is jail. Others believe that death for death is very moral. ..... Another example is abortion. Some people believe abortions are unethical and that they are murder. Others believe that it is unethical to have a baby knowing that you cannot take care of it.
The point is..... if ethical and moral could be defined people would not be able to disagree on these points above. Therefore, what is ethical and moral is a matter of opinion. People have different morals. Meaning that no one can define anything as moral or unmoral nor can they define anything as ethical or unethical
Yvette has asked for my opinions on these issues so here goes:
Religion: I am aetheist; i do not believe in god
Abortion: I am prochoice although having an abortion would be one of the hardest decisions of my life
Death penalty: I'm against it; prisioners should rot in jail for their whole lives why give them the joy of dying and escaping the torture of what they have done. And lethal injection is more expensive than keeping a prisioner in jail for life.... Hello taxes!
