Of course you can
Murder is not moral. We have laws against it
Stealing the property of others is not moral......We have laws against it
Assault and rape is not moral...We have laws against it
But that's not why they are illegal. These acts are illegal because they violate the rights of others.
Isn't that what morality is?
Your interaction with others
No.
What is the moral code of an individual by himself other than survival?
I dunno. What are you implying? You asked "Isn't that what morality is?" in response to my statement that the acts in question were illegal because they violated rights, not because they were immoral. To which I answer no, morality is different than rights. You threw in "Your interaction with others" for some reason, but that's not morality either.
I'm not following you
What is an example of morality that does not involve your interaction with others?
