Morality and amorality in humans and other animals is a subject of dispute among scientists and philosophers. If morality is intrinsic to

anti-social behavior disorder. On the other hand, if morality is extrinsic to humanity, then amoral human beings can both exist and be fully human, and as such be amoral by default. Human capabilities may be thought of as amoral in that they can be used for either constructive or destructive purposes, i.e. for good or for ill.[7]

There is a position which claims that amorality is just another form of morality or a concept that is close to it, citing the cases of moral naturalism, moral constructivism, moral relativism, and moral fictionalism as varieties that resemble key aspects of amorality.[8]

The Book of Genesis.[9] In modern science, however, the matter
of the universe is often observed amorally for objective purposes.

Legal entities

Corporations are thought to be amoral entities to some.[10][11][12][13] This can refer to the "ethical numbness" of these organizations' executives and managers, especially when approached from the view that corporations can be considered moral agents as well as a kind of legal person.[14]
