My Secular Ethics Definition:
-Secular ethics does not associate with any religions or spiritual ways, and in return does not practice many moral principles. It does not worry about right from wrong and has no morals to hold back from either. A person would not be confined to a certain way of life if they had secular ethics.

Let’s use a Jehovah’s witness going into open heart surgery. The Jehovah’s witness states that he does not want a blood transfusion during surgery if something goes wrong, but he does not declare DNR, and wants to be saved if needed. From a Medical ethics perspective, if he needs a transfusion to save his life, they will give him one against his wishes. From a Christian ethical perspective, they would honor that wish due to his
