Very interesting article from GALLUP: The Cultural Landscape: What is Morally Acceptable? "A recent Gallup Poll testing Americans' reaction to the moral acceptability of 16 social issues finds nearly unanimous agreement that three of the items are immoral: polygamy, extramarital affairs, and human cloning. On the other hand, most believe that six are morally acceptable: divorce, the death penalty, gambling, use of animal fur for human clothing, medical testing on animals, and premarital sex. Americans are close to split on four: having a baby outside of marriage, abortion, homosexual behavior, and doctor assisted suicide. Nearly equal numbers consider each of these morally acceptable as morally wrong. Generational differences in these attitudes are generally greater than gender differences."
