Maybe this should be a new thread, but it seems to fit in with this one.
I agree that right and wrong are very subjective considerations, but I don't think they're as nebulous as some posters make out.
Although I'm reluctant to quote anything quite so simplistic, I think the old Golden Rule can give us a lot of guidance. If something hurts you, you shouldn't do it to anyone else. Conversely, if something feels good to you or helps you, it's probably a good thing to do unto others.
The more I think about right and wrong, the more I'm convinced Charles Darwin may have discovered more secrets of life than his research into evolution might at first indicate. In that vein, let me advance a postulate: anything a member of a species does that perpetuates that species can be considered right, and anything a member of a species does that threatens or damages that species can be considered wrong.
Please don't assume I've thought this concept through. This is just off the top of my head. It's very probably been thought of and explored before, but at least on its surface it seems to work.
