Look I do understand your point, in that it could be dangerous to allow morals to be dictated by the whims of the voting public. But what is the alternative? To follow a outdated religion that has no relevance to the people who adopted it from the middle east? The European tribes were forcibly Christianised remember.

Most people just want to live peacefully, to try and gain some sense of happiness and enjoyment in their short lives, and do the best they can to act humanely.

Sure ethics change, and sometimes they don't, I mean although a lobotomy is now seen as unethical, the practice still operates today under the guise of a lobectomy and through the use of drugs that chemically do the same thing as a lobotomy used to.

Isn't the bigger question giving people a choice in how they live their lives? And giving people the ability to question things. That is what sets the west apart and makes us humane. Freedom. You know the thing America was founded on.
