Can we trust our Moral Intuitions?

Ones for which we don't have enough information to make easier decisions.  So that includes almost any philosophical hypothetical, since they are made intentionally ambiguous.

The point is that we don't need to make those decisions as long as we avoid the situations within which they might arise.  Instead, we should concentrate on what we know enough about.  That will keep us more than busy enough.
