gavra,

So if our morality is not in line with what to Torah says, how would we resolve such a conflict?

Ah, the age old question.

We have a responsibility dwelling in any country to follow the law. Therefore, if there is any commandment that is not a requirement (ex. there is no mitzva to own an Eved), then one should follow the law.

Today, if it was not illegal in the country in which one lives, you would say that it’s perfectly okay to buy and sell humans(Vayikra 25:44-45)?

What do you mean by “perfectly okay”? To turn the question over, do you believe it is “perfectly okay” to slaughter a living cow and consume its flesh? And isn’t the difference only in magnitude?
