If i may be so bold as to interject, i believe she also extends her argument to include both children and potential serial killer victims. What she is actually saying is that everyone should be able to live according to their own beliefs without interference.
I don't believe in an ultimate arbiter of morality either. I think ever person defines it for themselves, though many prefer to let someone else- law, religion, tom delay, mikey moore, etc - do it for them. I find certain activities in many cultures to be abhorrent and i don't have a problem with drawing a line in the sand about it, regardless of any cultural reasoning involved.
