Uh, if we don't build laws on ethical principles, what do we build them on?

Uh, this isn't a school project, not a hypothetical 'virtual world' simulation.

In fact, laws are built the old-fashioned way, on a foundation of 'interest'.

That's why it's important to keep politicians and lawyers on a short leash; they'll ALWAYS run with whatever power EXISTS.

No idealists they. ;^)
