Now, does he do anything wrong if he disembowels a prostitute?
Note what I am asking you. I am asking you if HE did anything wrong. Don't tell me he doesn't believe himself to be doing anything wrong. I am not asking you that. I am asking you if he did anything wrong.
Jack has plenty of reason to refrain from doing such. But his disorder prevents him from such control over his own actions.
Do I personally think he's doing something wrong? Well of course. That should have been obvious to you in my explanation that we generally don't go around killing each other. It would be detrimental to our survival. So again I say, FROM AND EVOLUTIONARY STANDPOINT, morals have utility.
