Should people who are suicidal be able to volunteer to be live organ donors?
Is it better to have a short happy life or a long mediocre life? How far does this stretch? If a fatal drug existed which caused pure ecstacy for a few moments before painless death, might it be best to use it?
Why is concentual incest between adults wrong?
If someone really wanted to not have legs, would it be morally permissible to amputate their legs for them? If not, how does this relate to people who want other forms of surgery such as cosmetic surgery or gender reassignment? How do we draw the line?
Would it be moral to eat hyper intelligent sheep who could converse with you like a human being? Would it be moral to eat a human who had the intelligence of the average sheep? If you had to eat one of them, which one?
Is it moral for someone to have a baby if they know that their children will be severely disabled? Would it be moral if laser eye treatment caused severe birth defects in future children would it be moral to have it done? What if someone promised to never have children? What if they changed their minds?
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
