Which part of "ultimately" did you miss in my reply? I didn't say it did not matter to society, I said it "ultimately" does not matter.

Quote:If I subjectively think that killing babies is fine, the society I'm in has something different to say about it.

Yes, but neither view would be "ultimate".

Quote:This does not mean that there is an objective standard, it just means I'm only as moral as my subjective societal norms perceive me to be.

That's what I meant. You seem to keep switching sides. If morality is relative to "societal norms" it's not "ultimate". If it's not "ultimate" it does not matter who survives and who dies.
