I am aware of the belief that right and wrong things are relative. This may boil down to people being entitled to their own choices. For me I choose to believe that right and wrong or ethical and unethical are bound by moral values that are eternal truths, they are not man made inventions but willed by the Christian God. This is roughly my choice.
For example, why should I still take care of the dying if doing so is very uneconomical? In the context of my choice of ethical principles, the Christian God willed that I "love my neighbor as myself" so the ethical thing to do is to take care even of the dying regardless of unprofitability of it.
I made a simple script for determining ethical and unethical actions in the context of the material of The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Ethics
