At one point black people were considered subhuman. What if someone's moral system tells them that they are not human and that slavery of them is not hurting a sentient being?
Considering black people subhuman was not based on scientific fact, but rather on beliefs. Another good reason why beliefs are not a good base on which to build a moral system.

Give me a definite time at which that child becomes a human being and we'll talk. Until then, we should err on the side of caution.

get a few drinks in your spouse and see their reaction. Alcohol is such a useful truth serem. You will be truly inspired by the positive results you get from it.
Wow, such a seemingly moral and upright soul would espouse in vino veritas?
You just lost any smidgen of credibility you may have had.
Who does that crap?
Human Lie Detector Training (http://humanliedetectortraining.com - broken link)
Now there's more to it than this, but it's a good guide. BTW, my reason for taking human lie detector training (professional training, not from this site) was for professional reasons, not personal ones. But the techniques are easily transferable to personal matters.
Based on the fact that the courts dont even use this kind of thing as admissible evidence in most states.....well, you know the rest.

I'm not a court of law. I use the tools that are available to me, and they are shown to work and have many applications. It hasn't let me down thus far.
How is what I'm seeking any different than someone who seeks out someone who is of a particular race, or hair color, etc? Some people have preferences, I think mine are reasonable. I'm sorry you don't agree.

If you're not a Christian basing your morals off of God's Law...that's all you've got is your beliefs....or society's beliefs.

I asked first. I'd rather not risk killing a child. Obviously you disagree.

An analogy would be medical leeches......no evidence whatsoever that they work, same goes with lie detection.
Both are pseudo-science.

At worst it would produce some false positives. So far, it's been 100%, 2 for 2. If I would've played dumb, I would've never known these two women were liars. Since I don't date covert operatives trained to thwart lie detection techniques, it becomes all too easy. Wow, it's interesting that my personal life fascinates people so much. Thanks, but I'm GTG with my method. It hasn't failed me yet. Analogy rejected.
Another tip: introduce scenarios that would contradict someone's statement. Lies are typically compounded and become harder to maintain over time.
