Your questions are direct and complicated. You are asking "what is a moral decision?" and how does one make it? The 16th through 18th century philosophers discussed just this .. is it by looking at "greatest good for the greatest number" or is it "if everyone acted in this manner would society be better or worse" or is it Hobbes' contention that the leader (sovereign) has the right to dictate over the affairs of all the citizens?
There are many ways to look at this ... and although your questions are valid .... are they actually the right questions?
