In context of our history, yes, but we still tend to use ****ty justifications and cultural norms to hide us from uncomfortable truths about our own morality in this country.

No, you're just presenting a false dichotomy to prove a point. My third option is exactly why your point is bull****.

And as you say we naturally evolve towards promoting less suffering Why are we more evolved? Why is stoning adulterers still prevalent? Burning witches? Genital mutilation? What is the purpose for these rules? |

Let's say we had the option to kill a child to save a hundred people, is that better? If we can't find a way to save all then it's the child. It's morally grey, because nothing in life is simple, but it still does more help than harm. Well, depending on who the hundred people are.

I would be ending a lot of suffering, and causing little if no new suffering. So is it the right thing to do? |

Nah, **** this idea that children are more valuable humans.

Then again, of course we need to consider the wants of those affected. Lets say majority of the 100 people would rather die to keep the kid alive. Then lets kill the 100 people. Vice versa as well.

Just because it's a social norm or it's a rule doesn't mean it's moral even if they use that word to describe it.
