The Lie of the True Christian™

[Optimistic Mysanthrope]

So is this Duty you speak of based on situational ethics, or is it universally recognized that a baby ough be resued? If it is universal, would you not call that a moral law? If it is situational, I hope you have a clear head and can weigh all the pros and cons fairly when you see a distressed baby. 'Duty' can be no other way than to be umbilically connected to a moral law.

Neither. It's instinctive. For many people, the exact same instinct kicks in when they see an animal in distress. So here's a question for you:

Is it moral to rescue an animal?
If not, why not?
If it is, do you consider that moral imperative to be universal or situational?
