<<All moral questions begin with interest.>> You said: I disagree. Moral questions arise because the nature of thinking points out alternatives, or CHOICES--for ACTION. The choices (because they are alternatives) have an unequal VALUE to the thinker. When we make a moral judgment we are choosing an "ought" to take us from an "is" to an "will likely be". We only make a moral judgment because the alternatives that may derive from our actions MATTER to us. In other words, we have an INTEREST in the results of behaviour. Your curt "I disagree" does not justify itself to me, and offers me no grounds to reconsider my own explanation. As a newborn you also had no moral judgement. IRRELEVENT.
