ZMD:
C'mon gimme a break, I said it's not satisfying!
I get your point, but I dare you to come up with a meaningful but unassailable one-line definition of morality yourself!
BTW birth control certainly IS moral, and overeating is just overdoing a beneficial adaption (i.e. eating).
If that's what you see as the goal, then you didn't get his point.
(Context, since the parent came before the OB-LW jump: Frank asserted that "A moral action is one which you choose (== that makes you feel good) without being likely to benefit your genes", and Z.M. Davis pointed out the flaws in that statement.)
