Haidt suggest that most moral arguements are based almost solely on intuition. This is interesting, but i don't think it applies on a larger scale. For real ethical dilemas instinct is only half of the equation. Our group dilema is Euthanasia. Because this topic literally plays with the life and suffering of another human being, instincnt only takes you so far. A gut reaction to a moral issue, doesn't neccesarily have to be your final decision on the problem. Reason, moral or otherwise, can play a part in the arguement process. That applies to issues, present or Ex-post-facto.
