************** It's quite common for someone who's idea of
right and wrong differs vastly from the norm to be considered
amoral, and there's a good reason for this. Morals are often
defined as a group concept of right and wrong. I guess we
could split hairs over what's immoral and what's amoral, but
if one is into the major nasty, a virtue or two might not
prevent the referee from throwing the amoral flag. So be
it.
If you choose to define an individual's personal idea of
right and wrong as morals, then you might be getting into
whether it's proper to cook up babies in the microwave or
whether they should only be slow roasted in oven.
