Some surgical interventions could easily be considered brutally torturing a baby and yet they are done for the health of the baby. Without context no action can be described as intrinsically right or wrong. This does break down though with the word murder as many define murder as killing that meets the criteria for being wrong. In this I guess all murder is intrinsically wrong and yet you end up at the same place because without context you can't decide was is murder and what isn't.
Are certain things INTRINSICALLY right/wrong?
