Benefit or harm

Inherent harm or benefit is the only reliable basis upon which a rational or reasonable decision may be reached, at least with regard to large issues.

For those who believe in moral absolutes, you may include "morality"/"immorality" in your evaluation of the harm or benefit, but others may not agree with you if they do not share your moral values. (If your moral values are in turn based on reasonable arguments, then you may be able to engage others in discussion and work out an agreement; if they are based on dogma, doctrine, or other "revealed truth", then the discussion essentially becomes religious in nature.)

Does anyone disagree with this? (Reply here or on the discussion page.) --Woozle 13:03, 21 July 2006 (EDT)
