Yes, they are strangers too each other, but they aren``t strangers like you and me, with zero bonds whatsoever. They knew that they were family. Before meeting they talked like father and daughter. My question is, although they had no real bonds like a father and daughter do, they knew they weren``t meetins strangers, aswell.

Yes, morality is defined by humans - when it``s not the case where the fundaments come from God - as is law. The thing is, morality, specially ethics, are meant to be universal - that is, to every single person, forever - and it lives by the purpose of helping mankind be the best that it can (individually and collectively).
Law is just a big contract that no one signs but everyone lives by it. In essence it only serves peace, so, it``s more volatile than any morality, ethics or religion, as it "gives in" to achieve peace amongst it``s people and sometimes at the cost of values.

Killing someone is a tough thing to analyse. You have to look at the context. Were you thinking about something in particular?

I get that they're not ordinary strangers, but if this GA thing is true, then... Anyways they were still irresponsable.

As for the morality/ethics thing, all of them come from humans, there's no such thing as God or any other deity. The people who came up with those sistems wanted them to be "universal", they only fit the worldview of the culture they're part of. And the only values that matter are the ones for which there is no logical reason to change.

As for killing, I gave an example, the killing that soldiers do, which is not considered morally wrong (unless it's the opposing side).
