Nothing objectively, though it is my subjective opinion that causing unnecessary suffering, or not doing what we can reasonably be expected to, to prevent it, is immoral. It is not objectively true that causing unnecessary suffering is wrong, at least as far as I can see, though as always I shall keep an open mind.
I would agree with that. It's not nice, but life isn't really nice as it is. I think it ultimately boils down to what you expect of yourself. Going against one's conscience can have severe consequences, all questions of morality aside. Try justifying, to yourself, that what you did was technically "moral" (for whatever reason) when your conscience literally won't let you sleep and you've been up for days.
