No Need To Consider Moral Issues in 'Organ Trading'

In my blog entry dated 19 May 08, I wrote on the morality of Lesbian Marriage.

I suggested that "In the end, when no harm is done, or when there's less harm than good, there is no need to consider the issue of morality. Morality will be a vague and obsolete concept in the coming decades. Perhaps in a hundred years time, this concept of morality will vanish from the face of the earth."

Today's newspaper brought up the issue of Sales of Kidney. Those who need kidney transplants ( in order to continue living) would like to buy a kidney (from the poor). The government has legislated against this, mainly on moral grounds. If 'kidney trading' is allowed, then the poor will ultimately be selling their kidneys to the rich. "It is dehumanising - life can be bought with money, at the expense of another life."

But there is another point of view. "It is also morally wrong to let a person suffer and die when something can be done to save his life. If a person X willingly sells one of his kidneys to person Y to save Y's life, why not?"

Our government is made up of humans too. They are pragmatic on moral issues. The garmen had legalised gambling, legalised abortion of foetal lives, semi-legalised prostitution, maybe legalising homosexual marriage in future.

The trend is to legalise 'Organ Trading' in future.

It supports the view that morality is becoming obsolete, in years to come.

Ellen Degeneres to Marry Her Girlfriend

I heard that the 'Ellen Degeneres Show' is popular in USA.

In Singapore, Ellen's show is broadcast on Mediacorp Channel 5 too. Sometimes I tuned to Channel 5 and happened to glimpse at the show.

It was well known that Ellen is a lebian.

And just a few days ago, Straits Times reported that Ellen Degeneres is going to marry her longtime girlfriend in a few months time. It is something expected to happen.

It sets me thinking. In a few years time, several countries will accept same-sex marriages. Once the number of early adopters pass a certain 'critical number', most other countries will have no choice but to adopt the same practice. Then same-sex marriages will be a worldwide norm .

Then the next phase of moral degeneration will commence. 'Why can't I marry my pet monkey?' Human being is basically an animal too. So why can't I marry an animal? My animal companion (dog, Ah Meng-type gorilla, parrot) offers me love, shares my joy and sadness. My parrot even talks to me! I want to marry him!!!

And so it will happen! It's a matter of time!

Morality is always relative, never absolute. Morality is always coloured grey.
What is immoral about same-sex marriage?
Does it harm me? No.
Does it harm anybody? No.
Does it make me happy? Yes.
Then don't deny me. Let me do it. It's my free will!

In the end, when no harm is done, or when there's less harm than good, there is no need to consider the issue of morality.

Morality will be a vague and obsolete concept in the coming decades. Perhaps in a hundred years time, this concept will vanish from the face of the earth. Just some thoughts ...
