I think you might like this site - it's collecting information about the moral standards of people from all different cultures. Like when it's ok to kill, and not kill (it reminded me of the doctor killing his patient conundrum, when he only intended to help). At any rate, you take a test where you answer a few hypothetical scenarios about when it's ok and not ok to hurt or kill or... Then they let you know how you compare to others who have taken the same test. Apparently, I ten to judge people's actions a bit more harshly than the average human. As a bonus, you'remaking the world a safer place for moral scientists everywhere.
