I haven't read most of the replies, but I think the conclusion we can draw from the results here is that everything, including morality, is subjective.

That's a fantastic conclusion to draw!!! Good thing you didn't bother to read most of the replies, or you might not have come up with that amazing insight.

He didn't really need to, it's common sense.

It's common sense that "everything, including morality, is subjective"??
I am amazed at the claims that are made in this thread.

I was basically just saying that individual morality is subjective, and it gives a good reasoning for the response of the vast majority. I think it's nearly impossible to objectively assess a situation that directly affects you. My life would be severely altered if my best friend died, where as it wouldn't be much different if 10 african children died. Also, the fact that I am given a conscious choice to save my friends life, knowing that I was able to stop his suffering and prolong his life but chose not to would weigh much more on my conscience than knowing I caused the death of 10 african children.
