Whilst I am all for grey areas - it's my favourite colour for decorating moral positions - I really don't understand how the moral status of an act varies with the relationship that the perpetrator has to the beneficiary of the act. If I do something that's bad but do it to benefit my mum or my husband then the badness of the thing that I did disappears, but if I do it to benefit my next door neighbour it stays bad?
