If people can't find reasons to be moral other than avoiding hell,
Oh look, I actually agree with you on a point.
I would say most humans generally know what feels right and wrong. It's empathy. However, it gets twisted in people. We have a segment of the population (larger than many realize) who do not appear capable of empathy.
Contrary to what most people believe, psychopaths and sociopaths are thought to exist in much greater numbers than the 1% that gets thrown around. Many also don't go on Hannibal Lecter murder sprees. They often can walk among us without even realizing what they are. They just always know there is something different about them.
Those types crave power and often enter positions of power. Even if they are fewer in number they have a much greater influence on human society than we realize. They also tend to be very cold and regard things like experimenting on children as fine.
Those people are like aliens living among us and will never be swayed by any morality. In fact, they detest such concepts and would rather those didn't exist in the government.
The kind of people who could do what Q posts suggest of the DS would not be NORMAL people that follow any morality. I'd say most have next to no empathy. Unfortunately they are also not people you can just avoid because they make sure that no one can avoid them. They claw deep into powerful positions and hang on like a barnacle.
A lot of them may not even know what they are. To them, humans are just strange creatures who care about weird things.
That's the real problem.
