The only action that leads to ending *hurt* is to hurt so horribly that no hurt can ever hurt again. Causing the world to end is typically not judged to be a moral action, therefore whether or not it hurts is not *wholly* whether or not it is moral.
Please for the love of the gods do not make me chart out the premises involved, as I would prefer you blissfully say 'okay' than to actively cause in you consternation.
You are just making things too complicated. Feeding a baby bleach is an immoral act, because bleach is bad for you. Preventing someone from feeding a baby bleach is a moral act. Simple.

The issue for me wasn't about enjoyment. I really enjoy doughnuts, however I don't eat them all day every day. People who do eat doughnuts all day every day, do have something wrong with them, and that's not counting the fact that they would be land whales. Doing so demonstrates a complete lack of will power and self esteem. Someone who has sex 20 times today is almost garunteed to have unresolved issues from the past.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
