Test Your Morality
Whether we know it or not, we are constantly faced with moral choices. Should you keep the wallet you just found on the street? Or tell that person on the train to take their feet off the seat? Or recycle your rubbish?
On a bigger scale, societies have to deal with new moral issues all the time. Technology constantly pushes back the boundaries of what is possible, raising new and unforeseen problems ranging from human cloning to cyber-bullying. Morality is everywhere.

The Death Penalty Is a Human Rights Abuse
Since 10.10.10 was the World Day Against the Death Penalty, I wanted to use this space to post an excellent piece by my colleague at the Center for Constitutional Rights, Rachel Meeropol, and her father, Robert. Read on for an important contribution to the debate that reframes the issue in terms of human rights, an argument that may ultimately prove more effective than any we currently fall back on.
If life is a human right, how can the United States continue to execute people? We are not the only ones asking this question. The World Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, a coalition of 108 non-governmental agencies from around the world, had set 10-10-10, as the 8th World Day Against the Death Penalty. In previous years this day of worldwide anti-capital punishment initiatives has focused attention on the death penalty in geographic regions (2005, Africa, 2008, Asia) or issues (2009, juvenile executions). This year’s focus is the United States.
