And where do those ideals come from?
Of course, my ethics would come from the Bible and my own personal beliefs.</font>[/quote]
They do not come from anywhere, that is the same as asking "where do the laws of physics come from." Rights, justice, utility, and care exist, it is the ethicists job to simply observe what behaviors fit the criteria, and as time goes by people generally do a better job realizing which behaviors are ethical or unethical.
