So the injunction against murder is based upon this moral rule:
Thou shalt not do that which isn't profitable.
I don't see any reason why I shouldn't do that which isn't profitable if I want to.
That's self-contradictory.
"If I want to," can be restated as, "If I value doing so;" so the profit in doing so is intrinsic. It's not the specific type of profit that I was referring to, but it's profit nonetheless.
Anyway, I was just pointing out where your rule would lead. I wasn't positing one of my own.
