To make an action moral would of course be the opposite of committing a crime and causes no hurt to another person. Just like with the pre-cogs predicting the future of people committing crimes before they happen. That makes moral people immoral before they understand why they have made that choice.
2. Under what circumstances should you be held morally accountable for your actions?
