Who says that murder isn't wrong because, logically, it hurts other people? Do you have any proof that the laws against murder in this country are based on ethics?Why is murder wrong? It isn't because of logic, it is because we value human life.
Why do we have speed limits? Again, not because of logic, but because someone valued the safety of people, and some people valued the Earth and considered the pollution issue.
Logic is a thought process. We beleive that human life has value, so we use logic to determine the best way to protect human life and punish those who go against the moral value of life, which gives way to a law.
Logic is the tool used to take a moral ideal and find a practical application of the ideal.
