- your problem is that you are trying to "create" a definition for
- something that cannot be defined => what is immoral.
- We can enumerate things that are immoral, but we cannot give a rule for
- it.
- So, you are playing on the hands of those who you are trying to defeat.
-
- You want an example that will bring your definition down?
-
- a) Let's assume that a mother, in her 40's had a son when she was
- 18 years old => He is older than 22 years old. Let's assume that they \
- have sex and that both of them consent to it: Is it immoral anyway?
-
- b) A dead body is not a person. You can ask for consent to someone
- who has a brain and can decide for him/herself and taking charge
- for the consequences of that desicion. A dead body is like a chair,
- a mattress or an orthopedic arm.
-
- Then, so much for your definition.
- What is moral or immoral is based on tradition, culture, and other
- things that give no room for a definition of it.
