The definition of morality varies from group to group. As near as I can figure out, all moral codes are based upon the opinions and assumptions (not to mention interpretations) of those considered "leaders".

I have given up on the specifics of "morality". I follow the George Burns (O God) code: "Don't hurt each other".

AS for some of the "issues", isn't the final agreement between the individual and his or her Creator? Is it the duty of government to legislate morality? I mentioned this in another thread. The Republican party, for one, sent me by mistake (I am a registered Independent) a request for donations and a bunch of questions to be answered to help them devise a party platform. Just two of the questions read as follows:

"Should Congress pass the Federal Marriage Protection Amendment which would once and for all define marriage as being the sacred union between one man and one woman?"

"Do you believe in protecting the sanctity of life and maintaining the ban on partial birth abortion?"

Read carefully and tell me these are not designed to legislate moral behavior. Please tell me where I am wrong.
