1.5.12 Ethical ImplicationsVersion 1.0 October 2022 (Previous Version) ( Paragraph 1 Trans Error: Unknown )How do our core ethical values fit together? How does valuing Life, Love, Equality and Responsibility fit with the Golden Rule or Human Rights? How are these values applied to victimless crimes or the crimes of being harmlessly different? What does ethics cover? ( Paragraph 2 Trans Error: Unknown )This section covers the implications of choosing the four core ethical values of Life, Love, Equality and Responsibility in the context of other approaches to ethics. It also discusses the range of things that can be properly addressed by ethics and the implications for crime and punishment. ( Paragraph 3 Trans Error: Unknown )This section doesn’t cover the details of controversial contemporary issues, such as recreational drugs, gambling, pornography, blasphemy, lese-majesty, apostasy, homosexuality and LGBTQI+ issues, the death penalty, assisted dying, and abortion. These are addressed in Section 6.1.4. Here we discuss some of the principles that are applicable to such controversies. ( Paragraph 4 Trans Error: Unknown )In Part 7 on Politics we discuss that ethical organizations, governments, corporations, charities and families, must adopt similar values as individuals. Consequently we as individuals must accept that they are entitled to take action to promote everyone’s well-being, including minimizing self-harm. ( Paragraph 5 Trans Error: Unknown )We look at these issues under the following headings. ( Paragraph 6 Trans Error: Unknown )

( Paragraph 24 Trans Error: Unknown )2. We accept a minimal degree of punishment as vengeance solely to retain popular support for a more effective but less punitive justice system. Where unduly harsh punishments still apply political activism and leadership are required to educate the populace to accept the least suffering that is effective. ( Paragraph 25 Trans Error: Unknown )3. Our core values justify following the Golden Rule, to do unto other as you would have others do unto you, but also show that this rule has its limitations; it is an ancillary value, useful only when supporting core values. ( Paragraph 26 Trans Error: Unknown )4. Human rights are a popular way to express values, but our core values provide a better approach that accepts the fragility of our value choices. ( Paragraph 27 Trans Error: Unknown )5. Actions that do no harm should not be treated as crimes, including pornography, sexual acts, drug taking, language use and gambling. ( Paragraph 28 Trans Error: Unknown )6. Harmless differences, in caste, race, colour, religion, age, sex, gender, class, abilities, or being neurologically atypical should not be criminalised, or used to deem the same action wrong if done by one and not another. ( Paragraph 29 Trans Error: Unknown )7. Ethics covers minimizing harm and suffering and promoting happiness and well-being – through action and inaction – and nothing more. more ( Paragraph 30 Trans Error: Unknown )
