As a spin off of this thread
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40720
I wanted to open one that discusses the question of morals as a whole, and when, or even if they should be broken. Ethics, or situational ethics, is always a difficult concept, or judgment call. Two wrongs don't make a right, but there are times when people have made tough choices to do the wrong thing for the right reasons.
On the referenced thread, we discussed whether or not the premeditated killing of any human being is ethically or morally justifiable. We explored the meaning of "premeditated," and in ran the gamut from state sanctioned execution of convicted murderers to self defense.
Now I throw it out to AW members. Is it ever ethical or morally justified to do that which one knows to be morally wrong?
