18. IF committing an immoral act is wrong ....
Then it is always wrong ....

It was WRONG to throw acid in the face of an innocent human ...

It is JUST AS WRONG to drip acid into the face of an guilty human ....

It is the act of causing harm that is wrong, and it is consistently wrong no matter WHO is the cause ....

One might make the argument that someone could morally commit this act IF it was in defense of themselves or another human .... But that is a very narrow position, requiring that no other alternative exist ...

Morality is universal .... There is no 'opt out' for anyone ...
