Personal Opinion
Thanks to my fellow colleague, Taylor Shackleford's comment, I am now going to address the issue of morality being already present in the language in the law. Like Taylor said, morality is already in the law because believing murder is wrong is a personal view which falls under the category of morality. However, to me these seem like the cut and dry examples as to what should be legal and what shouldn't. But, for example the issue of euthanasia, killing a perfectly fine and RESPONSIVE human being simply because they don't "contribute to society" is wrong, but it is those who fall into gray areas such as those who are terminally brain dead, living off a feeding tube, or unresponsive to stimulation that causes much debate. In my opinion like I said earlier, this is more of an ethical issue and one that will never be answered except by leaving it up to an individual person.
