I would imagine that these opinions would be based (in some part) on each person's moral fiber (or ethics).

There are differing levels of agreement. One level is personal, where you keep your ethics, another is the one that controls your ability to interact with others who have different ethics. There has to be some fudge factor there otherwise humanity would have eliminated itself a long time ago.
