    Your arrogance knows no bounds. Definition = understanding ? Don't think folk need to be patronised in such a way. Oh, and there is no such thing as absolute right or absolute wrong - discuss (250 words).

    Absolute right and absolute wrong?

    Your assertion that there is no such thing as absolute right and wrong in itself is an example of an absolute wrong. In order to show this all I have to do is demonstrate an example of an absolute right or an absolute wrong, For example The idea that humans have the right to live for ever is wrong QED

    Sorry

    That depends on so many things. It is easy to hypothesise a situation where humans have the right to live forever and it may even be possible for that to be achieved with advaces in technology (depending on the concept of forever of course!). There are no absolutes only references to a standard (whether scientifically, philosophically or metaphysically).
