I am having trouble seeing where you are coming from. Some people believe morality is based on selfishness (mainly the Objestivists). I can see how that logically plays out. But if morality is not based on selfishness you just have to make assumption (or irrational leaps of faith). There is just no way around it. You just have to assume killing a person for no reason is bad. It may not hurt you, but it is still bad - just because. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
