Loy - I think what your saying about fluid morality is actually more about ethics than morals. Morals are personal, and never change. Ethics however are simliar to morals, however are fluid and change with society.
For example, you mentioned death. We could extrapolate and say theft. If a person steals your car, its wrong. If say a government agent does it in an attempt to stop a crime, well then its not stealling its commandeering and deemed legal.
If the same car is taken by an official who then uses it for a personal benefit, then its still illegal, but thats more ethical than moral.
Stealing is always wrong. The way society views it is ethical. If society changes, and the views of society change, it doesn't mean that morals change, just the justification, therefore its more ethical than moral.
