How can you measure the morality of human acts?

The interpretation of "morality" is subjective and cannot be quantified. ---- Actually, morality can be measured by the "harms" involved in any given action. for instance, it's not moral to kill because you are causing "harm", likewise stealing cause harm and distress to the one being stolen from. on the other side, it would be perfectly moral to walk down the street or to pay for something, because no harm is being done. Also, typically moral codes of conduct exist within societies, so any arguments about sociopaths and others who don't have the same sense of morality within their allotted society, can be returned with the fact that those individuals are abnormal to their societies and therefore still bound under the moral ideals of said society.
