I also might argue that society mirrors our morals not the other way around.<br /><br />as for that rape possibility, I imagine someone could suffer some sort of head trauma where they really don't know that the woman isn't consenting. Drugs might do it too but then it's a product of the drugs and so that's avoidable, but with some sort of brain trauma you might end up in a situation like that.<br /><br />There was a ep of law and order or CSI or something where instead of a guy sleep-walking he sleep-has-sex. His girlfriend was cool about it but one night she was abducted and her sister was staying over without knowing about his condition and of course he had no idea what he was doing until she smashed a glass over his head and actually woke him up... I don't know how realistic the ep was but I know this condition exists, the only question I have is could you wake such a person up easier then in the tv show.<br /><br />A quick wikipedia search did list this as Sleep sex or sexsomnia. One of the references says one man apparently tried to strangle his wife during one of these episodes and a teenager in the house called the police. Luckily they knew enough to send him to a specialist and not just charge him. I think the ep I saw was the Law and Order SVU episode they list but it's been on House as well<br /><br />So would that fall into your 0.0000001% catagory?Kerri Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368500873620219614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198693124678067586.post-73027978034591228662009-07-15T09:24:00.524-05:002009-07-15T09:24:00.524-05:00That is a good point Baldy.

It would be more of an ethical question, like the third definition I gave for morality. :)<br /><br />I confused the first and third definition of morality. I was using the first definition up to that point. Then switched to the third definition. This is why it is so important to define your terms in the beginning.<br /><br />So you are correct Baldy and I was wrong, for switching definitions.BeamStalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772110446629492132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198693124678067586.post-27088934019127521612009-07-15T09:08:32.832-05:002009-07-15T09:08:32.832-05:00Surely that would still be morally wrong, but ethi...Surely that would still be morally wrong, but ethically correct?<br /><br />Capcha="seedo"BaldySlapheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122283491292815849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198693124678067586.post-82421908020007062562009-07-15T08:41:02.905-05:002009-07-15T08:41:02.905-05:00Yeah I hope it would never happen in real life, bu...Yeah I hope it would never happen in real life, but it is <i>possible</i> that a situation would occur where a person is forced to rape a woman in order to stop 100 women being similarly raped and killed.<br /><br />In that horrible situation one rape is better than 100 rapes and deaths, so it could be argued that it is not morally wrong, as to <i>not</i> do it would cause much more harm.<br /><br />It's sick even thinking about it. That's why the fundies use examples like that.<br /><br />Lying is also morally wrong but everyone occasionally tells a white lie for the greater good, like telling someone they look nice when you don't actually think they do. You could argue that in a case like that, lying is not morally wrong. This is essentially the same as the above rape example, but just a lot easier to stomach...hence fundies don't use itrhiggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246371823456833408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198693124678067586.post-74397755077289217812009-07-15T06:49:50.272-05:002009-07-15T06:49:50.272-05:00Baldy, I was thinking about extreme odd situations...Baldy, I was thinking about extreme odd situations, that never really happen in life, but where you are forced to rape a woman or someone gets killed. Then things get weird. It is hard to blame the person doing the action in that case, but someone in the chain is doing something wrong.
