There are no absolute rights and wrongs for a relativist agnostic. I have to decide everything for myself- since I have no book that tells me what I should think.

In many cultures you could expose babies you don't want. I believe this still goes on in China and India. I would argue that this is dangerous- simply because the already born are exactly like us- just smaller- and so at any time the law could be changed to let people like you and me be done away with- which is not in my best interest, but I don't actually see anything wrong with it in absolute terms.

Killing is unappealing because we, personally, do not wish to die. This is the root of the distaste for it, personally and in religion (imo). Because I don't like it, I certainly think it is wrong- but I do not think it is not wrong in any absolute sense.
