Gay Relations: Acceptable, of course.
Having a baby outside of marriage: Acceptable, though not ideal.
Sex outside of marriage: Acceptable, of course.
Divorce: Acceptable and necessary.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Acceptable, and can save lives.
Polygamy: I personally don't think it's great, but so long as everyone involved is honest with one another, I don't think it's inherently wrong
Cloning humans: Unacceptable, since I think it would cause enormous problems of identity.
Doctor-assisted suicide: Acceptable, particularly for those with a terminal and debilitating illness.
Suicide: Unacceptable. While this isn't really a case of right/wrong, suicides have a devastating impact on families and communities, and I think it must be fought and prevented.
Gambling: Acceptable, though obviously risky.
Abortion: Acceptable, though not desirable.
Cloning animals: Unacceptable, for the same reason as human cloning.
Fur: Unacceptable, except in places where there are no alternatives.
Affairs: Unacceptable, since this implies not everyone is aware of what is going on.
Death Penalty: Unacceptable, except in extreme cases.
Medical Testing on Animals: Acceptable, though alternative methods are better.

I can't even imagine your moral justification for assisted suicide under any other circumstance...

Uh, a terminal disease that isn't quite so debilitating, but terminal nonetheless? In that case, it wouldn't be a matter of reducing suffering, so I'd view it more as something the patient should decide, rather than what I mentioned earlier, since I think it's immoral to force a patient to slowly suffer and deteriorate, with no hope of recovery.

Mostly agree with my previous answers, but a slight update:

Gay Relations: Acceptable, of course.
Having a baby outside of marriage: Acceptable, though not ideal.
Sex outside of marriage: Acceptable, of course.
Divorce: Acceptable and necessary.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Acceptable, and can save lives.
Polygamy: I personally don't think it's great, but so long as everyone involved is honest with one another, I don't think it's inherently wrong Unacceptable, definitely misinterpreted this one.
Cloning humans: Unacceptable, since I think it would cause enormous problems of identity and consent would obviously be another huge issue.
Doctor-assisted suicide: Acceptable, particularly specificallyfor those with a terminal and debilitating illness. (Poor choice of words.)
Suicide: Unacceptable. While this isn't really a case of right/wrong, suicides have a devastating impact on families and communities, and I think it must be fought and prevented.
Gambling: Acceptable, though obviously risky.
Abortion: Acceptable, though not desirable.
Cloning animals: Unacceptable, for the same reason similar reasons as human cloning.
Fur: Unacceptable, except in places where there are no alternatives.
Affairs: Unacceptable, since this implies not everyone is aware of what is going on.
Death Penalty: Unacceptable, except in extreme cases.
Medical Testing on Animals: Acceptable, though alternative methods are better.
