Ethics
and morality are practical matters. People get wrapped up in the
words used to describe ethical action. But being ethical is just
doing what's right and not doing what's not right. Simple as that. Of
course, sometimes it's hard to know what's right. That's when we rely
on the precepts.
~Brad
Warner, in Don't Be a Jerk

1...To respect and protect life.
