Never conflate "what is legal" with "what is moral" or "what is rational". Doing so will make so sorely disappointed.

You absolutely will, because very few people's personal moralities align with our societal ethics. Laws _generally_ align with what we have found to be ethical, but they lag behind and there are plenty of cases where they've diverged.
