Libertarians believe that the government has no business dictating morality. Libertarians believe that moral excellence has long range survival and economic advantages. Mature adults should be allowed to fulfill their aspirations, to express their sexual preferences, to exercise reproductive freedom, to have access to comprehensive and informed health-care, and to die with dignity. The libertarian party platform says people should never go to jail for any nonviolent activity connected with abortions or suicides. The most comprehensive and informed health care will result from freeing the people from laws restricting the practice of health care and empowering them to create institutions which meet real needs instead of enriching a protected elite.
Humanist ethics is amenable to critical, rational guidance.
There are normative standards that we discover together. Moral principles are tested by their consequences. Moral decency cannot be imposed from above, it must grow from enlightened self interest. The market encourages and rewards altruism, integrity, honesty, truthfulness, and responsibility. People discover their own standards when they do not fear authority but instead evaluate the consequences of their own behavior.
