Would you say that intention only comes into play when there is morality?

[TalkWithoutSpeaking]

Just so the context is clear for this question: I'm talking about intentionality as a characteristic of some beings. Examples, within the topic of reproducing, (but could also take other topics too):

A cell: it has no intention of reproducing. It just *does it* - it's not "wrong" or "right" to reproduce. It is what it is.

A tree: it has no intention of growing. It just *does it* - there's no morality behind growing or not growing. It's not "wrong" or "right" to grow. It is what it is.

A human: it has an intention to reproduce (biologically)/develop (psychologically, not biologically)... because there is some kind of societal norm of "right" and "wrong" when it comes to having children.

not necessarily, you may intent to eat an apple cause you feel like doing that (no right/wrong), but your desire just to eat, so your intention is to eat something specific

i get what you mean but reprodduction of humans might not be good example as it can be argued its a human need so it can be in criteria "it is what it is".

I dont think we do all things cause we think they are right/wrong, we also do them cause they make us feel good, so our intention is to feel good.

Yes about morality but it´s a question of conscious actions. The procreation of humans is a choice in that way that they could have chosen not to procreate. The fact that humans can reflect that action makes them different from other species. A cell for instance doesn´t have that choice. There will be a moment where the cell splits in two, it´s a biological system that the cell can´t control.

I actually it's not just about morality.

What’s the question? Why would you put is it right or wrong? Obviously were meant to breed after marriage

Hmm. Ok. So my question is:
Intentionality - the deliberate action to do something - is it something that can exist without morality?

Can I deliberately do something without taking morality into consideration?

Intention always matters.

[boobliker]

Mostly Yes

[In_Trance]

Not necessarily
