I've heard interesting philisophical debates on these types of ethical questions...using nothing but objective and analytical "logic" by itself would bring you to some surprising conclusions... (by logic I'm referring to utilitarian ethics...as it seems to embody the end goal of the best possible scenario for the most people, I however enjoy more...romantic notions of free agency, passion, and libertine antimorality to some extent...hopefully these thought games will show you why I feel that ethics are grossely unnatural.)
