I've always thought to myself that maybe it can be shown that there are in fact objective morals. The problem though is that we tend to jump straight into the tricky situations where it's not clear what is right or wrong anymore. I see this as chucking a high school kid into a 2nd year engineering unit and expecting him/her to cope. That's not logical at all.
Would it be possible to start from scratch and through logic define a basic framework where we could then expand our ideas of morals and see if objectivity is at least somewhat plausible?
What I think a good starting point is this: can it be said that it is always morally wrong to end your own race?
