5. I agree, yet

What if people's 'humanity' tells us different things?

What if your humanity says that it's wrong for two men to marry, but mine says it's fine. What our 'humanity' really is there is our gut. Our natural instincts, which I agree is where our general gregarious nature is derived from. If we didn't intrinsicly want to be good and nice to other people we'd never be able to form societies at all.

Beyond murder though, how does that apply to any other more specific examples. If your humanity says that abortion is not murder, but mine does, who gets to tell the other what to do and why?
