Reply To: is morality relative?

I dont think you read my OP.

“In a GOD system where there is halachah, it remains a constant.”

Halacha is not at all constant. There very much is a process and the halacha can be different for different people given the exact same circumstances. Take your first example of abortion. For a talmid of the Tzitz Eliezer it would be 100% mutar to abort a tay sachs fetus, even fairly late in the preganacy. For a talmid of R’ Moshe in the exact same circumstance it would be assur.

Thus assuming halacha=morality=halacha which a few posters maintain.

for the first person aborting the tay sachs fetus is not immoral while for the second it is.

This may very well be the case, but it seems funy that the exact same situation is moral for one and immoral for another.
