The whole taboo system is simply that. If you want to go into any moral code, you can trace it down to its reason, its cause. You’ll find exactly how this action inhibited survival. There was more pain in it than there was pleasure, and therefore it’s immoral. This action may be apparently pleasurable, but experience has taught that this apparently pleasurable action actually contains much more pain and destructiveness than it does pleasure, therefore it’s immoral. You can trace down the track of any moral code and you’ll find that this reasoning was at its basis.

Something which is ethical is a reasonable or a reasoning action or behavior which promotes the maximum survival for everyone concerned in it. Ethics are concerned intimately with survival. If this action means survival for, let’s say, the individual, the future, the group, it’s also ethical—unless it means the destruction of the rest of mankind, at which moment it becomes unethical because, that’s more affected.
