Oh sure

The vast majority of my morals would follow a social norm: I wouldn't kill anyone unless it was them or someone close to me, and even then I'd only do so if it were the only option available to me. I wouldn't kill an animal unless I was going to eat it (or it was endangering someone close to me, as above).

That pretty much sums it up, though as I said, there would be circumstances under which they might be bent, depending on the gravity of the situation. Given desperate enough circumstances, I would probably revert to Cannibalism, but I would (probably) only eat an already dead person, though one never knows truly how one will react in such a circumstance.

I guess in a way my morals are pretty clear-cut, but they aren't exact. There is hypocrisy in the way that I will happily kill an animal to eat it, and yet I would be pretty enraged if a bear killed my gf to eat her. Same Ethic on both parts, and yet I will not spare a second to think about how the bear feels if I eat his offspring.
